REGULATIONS UNDER PROVISIONS OF "DISEASED CATTLE ACT," 1861.

In pursuance of the power in me vested, I, James A. R. Menzies, Esquire, Superintendent of the Province of Southland, do hereby make and issue the following Regulations for the management of Quarantine Grounds within the Province of Southland.

  1. It shall be lawful for an Inspector of Cattle, appointed under the said Act, if he shall think fit to direct that Cattle reasonably suspected to be infected with Pleuro-pneumonia, or any other infectious or contagious disease, shall be removed to the nearest Quarantine Ground, there to remain until the said Inspector permits the same to be removed.

  2. The owner or person in charge of any animal sent to the Quarantine Ground by order of the Inspectors, shall pay to the said Inspector a fee of 10s. for every such animal.

  3. The person who shall be appointed to take charge of the Quarantine Ground, shall burn or bury the remains of any animal which shall die in Quarantine, and for every such animal so dying, the owner or person having charge of it before it was sent into Quarantine shall pay to the Inspector a fee of 5s., to compensate for the subsequent expenses.

  4. Any person hindering or preventing the removal to any Quarantine Ground, of any cattle so reasonably suspected of being infected as aforesaid, which shall have been directed by the Inspector to be removed to such Quarantine Ground, or in any way offending against these regulations, shall forfeit and pay any sum not less than one pound, nor more than one hundred pounds.

J. A. R. Menzies,
Superintendent.

[CIRCULAR.]

Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Auckland, 21st December, 1863.

SIR,—The General Assembly has appropriated out of the Colonial Revenue for this year, the sum of Two thousand pounds (£2000), towards a Patriotic Fund for the support of the wives and families of those of Her Majesty’s Regular and Colonial Forces who have fallen, and may hereafter fall, in the course of the present war in this Colony.

I am sure that the inhabitants and Legislatures of each Province will be anxious to contribute to a fund which has for its benevolent object the succour and relief of those who, by the loss of their husbands and parents in battle, or by death on active service in the present war, are unable to maintain or support themselves.

I gladly, therefore, invite your Honor’s co-operation in this matter, by requesting you to be good enough to give publicity to the intention of the General Assembly, and to take such other steps as may appear to your Honor to be calculated to give it additional effect.

I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
FRED. WHITAKER,
For the Colonial Secretary.

His Honor the Superintendent,
Southland.
