PROCLAMATION.
By John Parkin Taylor, Esq., 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 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th and 10th Sections of the said Act, subject to the Regulations contained in the Order in Council of 1st October, 1861; and also to delegate under the “Diseased Cattle Act Amendment Act 1865,” the several powers vested in the Governor by the 5th Section of the said Amended Act.
And whereas by a proclamation given under the hand of James Alexander Robertson Menzies, Esq., as Superintendent of the said Province, dated 26th December, 1862, it was declared that the Inspector, under the said Act, would not be authorised to grant certificates to land in the Province of Southland Cattle coming from any of the Australian Colonies;
And whereas it is expedient to make further provision in that behalf;
Now, therefore, I, the said Superintendent, in virtue of the powers in me vested, do hereby proclaim and declare that the Inspectors of Cattle in the Province of Southland, under the said Ordinance, are hereby authorised to grant certificates to land in this Province,
Cattle shipped in the Colony of Victoria, provided that the same are free from disease; and provided moreover that the Master of the vessel, on board of which such Cattle shall have been imported, shall deliver to such Inspector a certificate from the Collector of Customs, or, if there be no Collector of Customs, from the Police Magistrate, or from two Justices of the Peace, at the Port or place where such cattle were shipped, to the effect that the district wherein such Port or place is situate was to the best of his or their belief and knowledge, free from infectious disease in Cattle at the time of shipment, and that the Cattle shipped were free from any such disease; and in case the master of any such vessel shall be unable to produce any such certificate, the said Inspector of Cattle shall not grant a certificate to land the Cattle on board such vessel until the Master shall have made a declaration in the usual statutory form before a Resident Magistrate or Justice of the Peace to the effect that such Cattle were shipped at a Port in a district free from such infectious disease aforesaid, and that such Cattle are to the best of his knowledge and belief free from such infectious disease.
Given under my hand at Invercargill, this fifth day of November, One thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven.
Jno. P. Taylor,
Superintendent.
