WHEREAS by the twenty-first clause of the Wild Cattle Ordinance, 1867, it is provided that it shall be lawful for the Superintendent from time to time by notice in the Government Gazette of the Province to constitute Districts within which Wild Cattle may, under certain conditions, be shot or otherwise destroyed without being previously caught or impounded, and to make Regulations with reference thereto: Provided that no such District shall be constituted, and no such Regulations shall be published, without the previous approval of the Provincial Council expressed by a resolution thereof.
Now, therefore, I, Henry Robert Richmond, Esquire, Superintendent of the Province of Taranaki, do hereby declare that the following Regulations, which have been submitted to and approved by the Provincial Council, shall, unless otherwise provided, be in force in all Districts hereafter to be constituted under the said recited clause:
