PROCLAMATION
By James A. R. Mackay, Esquire, Superintendent of the Province of Southland.
WHEREAS His Excellency the Governor in Council has been pleased to delegate under the “Diseased Cattle Act, 1861,” to the Superintendent of the Province of Southland the several powers vested in the Governor by the 2d, 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th sections of the said Act, subject to the Regulations contained in the Order in Council of 1st October 1861; and whereas by a Proclamation given under my hand, dated 2d October, 1861, it was amongst other things declared that the Inspector was thereby prohibited from granting a Certificate to land any Cattle imported from the Colony of Victoria; And whereas it is expedient to make further provision in that behalf.
Now, therefore, I, the said Superintendent, in virtue of the powers vested in me, do hereby proclaim that the Inspector of Cattle under the said Act shall not be authorised to grant a Certificate to land in the Province of Southland Cattle coming from any of the Australian Colonies, namely, Queensland, New South Wales (excepting as hereinafter mentioned), Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania, from the date hereof: Provided that Cattle arriving in the Province of Southland from the Port of Newcastle, in the Colony of New South Wales, in a vessel which shall have put to sea with the same on or before the 24th of December current (and which shall not thereafter have touched at the same, or at any other port, until her arrival at a port within the Province of Southland), shall, under the provisions of sub-section 4, section 4, of the said Act, be permitted to land upon the Quarantine Ground as the same has been defined in the Proclamation of 2d October 1861 aforesaid; there to remain until the said Inspector shall permit the same to be removed from thence; the said Quarantine Ground being bounded on the west by the Bluff Harbour, on the north by the eastern arm of the said harbour, and by a right line extending due east from its eastern extremity until it intersects the east boundary of the Campbelltown Hundred; on the east by the east boundary of the Campbelltown Hundred, from the said point of intersection to the sea coast; on the south by the ocean.
Given under my hand, at Invercargill, this twenty-sixth day of December, One thousand eight hundred and sixty-one.
J. A. R. Mackay,
Superintendent.
The above proclamation has been republished from the Southland Provincial Government Gazette of 10th December, 1861 (with the addition of a definition of the Quarantine Ground) in consequence of a typographical error in the said proclamation, namely, “6th October” for “2d October.”
