X.—QUARANTINE REGULATIONS.

112. There shall for every port be a Health
     Officer, who shall from time to time be appointed
     and be removable by the Superintendent.

113. There shall for every Port be a Board of
     Health, which shall consist of the Resident
     Magistrate of the Port, one or more Justices of
     the Peace, to be appointed by the Superintendent,
     the principal Officer of Customs at the Port, the
     Health Officer at the Port, and, if the Health
     Officer be not a medical practitioner, one or more
     legally qualified medical practitioners, to be
     appointed by the Superintendent. The Resident
     Magistrate shall be Chairman of the Board.

114. It shall be lawful for the Superintendent,
     upon the recommendation of the Board of Health,
     to appoint any station or place within any port
     or harbor for the performance of quarantine,
     where all vessels liable to quarantine, and the
     crews, passengers, and other persons on board
     thereof shall perform the same, and also, if neces-
     sary, to appoint lazarets and other places where
     the crews, passengers, and other persons, and the
     goods, wares, and merchandise which shall or
     may be on board the said vessels shall and may
     be detained, landed, and kept for the performance
     of quarantine. Provided that any quarantine
     ground or lazaret, heretofore legally appointed by
     the Governor or by any Superintendent, shall be
     deemed to have been appointed under these regu-
     lations.

115. The master of any vessel arriving from any
     port in the Australian Colonies or New Zealand
     which may at any time, by a notice in the New
     Zealand Gazette, be duly declared an infected port,
     and the master of every vessel arriving from any
     port whatsoever not within the Australian Colonies
     or New Zealand shall, on approaching any
     port in New Zealand, cause the Health Officer’s
     flag (No. 8 of Marryat’s code), to be hoisted
     at the mast or mainmast head of the said vessel,
     and shall keep the same flying until she has been
     communicated with by the Harbor Master, Pilot, or
     other officer of the port, after which, if the vessel
     be considered clean, the said flag may be hauled
     down. If any such vessel shall call at more than
     one New Zealand port the flag herein prescribed
     shall be hoisted on arrival at each port.

116. Should it be considered necessary by the
     Harbor Master, Pilot, or other officer as aforesaid
     that such vessel shall be visited by the Health
     Officer, the master shall on being directed so to
     do, cause the vessel to be anchored in the quarantine
     ground appointed for the harbor, and shall
     hoist the quarantine (or yellow) flag as hereinafter
     appointed.

117. The master of every vessel so anchored is
     to deliver to the Harbor Master, Pilot, or other
     person duly authorized by the Superintendent to
     receive the same, his bill of health, manifest, log
     book, and journal, and he is to fill up a report in
     the form and manner pointed out in the Schedule
     annexed.

118. No person shall go on board any vessel
     whilst the yellow quarantine flag is flying, and
     before she has been visited by the Health Officer,
     and if any person shall offend against this regula-
     tion he shall, in addition to other penalties which
     he may thereby incur, be liable to be compelled
     to remain on board or in the lazaret until the
     vessel or her passengers and crew be duly admitted
     to pratique, should they be thereafter placed
     in quarantine; and no person shall assist any one
     on board to leave such vessel or in any way assist
     to remove any goods, packages, or baggage so-
     ever, before such vessel has been duly visited by
     the Health Officer.
