PROCLAMATION
By His Honor CHARLES BROWN, Esquire, Superintendent of the Province of Taranaki.
WHEREAS, by Section No. 10 of “The Diseased Cattle Act, 1861,” it is enacted that if at any time it shall be made to appear to the Governor that any infectious or contagious disease has broken out amongst Cattle in any district of the Colony, it shall be lawful for the Governor by order in Council to declare that such district is infected within the meaning of the Act, and from time to time to make such regulations for destroying diseased Cattle therein, and for prohibiting the removal or transportation of Cattle from one part of the Colony to another, and for preventing the further spread of such disease as to him shall seem fit. And it is by the same Act enacted that the Governor in Council may by warrant under his hand from time to time delegate to the Superintendent of any Province within the Colony all or any of the powers vested in the Governor or Governor in Council by the said Act, subject to such regulations as he may think fit and may from time to time rescind such delegation. And whereas the Governor hath, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of New Zealand, delegated to the Superintendent of Taranaki certain powers conferred upon him by the said Diseased Cattle Act subject to certain regulations made by the Governor in Council under the said recited Act, bearing date the 12th day of September, 1864.
Now, therefore, I, Charles Brown, Esquire, Superintendent of the Province of Taranaki, in exercise of the powers delegated to me under the 10th Section of the said Act, do hereby proclaim and declare the district lying between the Tapuae river and the Hurford road from its point of intersection with the said river to the Omata road, and a line produced from the Hurford road to the head of the Wairero stream, and the said stream (running through rural allotments Nos. 16, 17, and 19, in the Omata district) to the sea at low water mark, to be an infected district within the meaning and for the purposes of the said Act, and that from and after the date hereof no Cattle in the said district shall cross the boundary between the said Tapuae river along the Hurford road to the sea.
Given under my hand, and issued under the Public Seal of the Province of Taranaki, at New Plymouth, the 23rd day of January, 1865.
CHAS. BROWN,
Superintendent.
