PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.

By His Excellency Sir George
Ferguson Bowen, Knight
Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael
and St. George, Captain-
General and Governor-in-Chief
of the Colony of Queensland
and its dependencies, and Vice-
Admiral of the same, &c., &c.

Whereas, by an Act passed in the
last Session of Parliament, intituled, "An Act to Prevent the Introduction of Diseased Cattle into the Colony of Queensland and to Check the Progress of Malignant Diseases in Cattle,"
it is amongst other things enacted that
it shall be lawful for the Governor, with
the advice of the Executive Council, by
Proclamation, to prohibit or put restrictions on the introduction or importation
of Horned Cattle into the Colony of
Queensland, or into any District thereof,
from such places and during such time
as may appear necessary, and any such
Proclamation to alter or revoke by a
similar Proclamation. And whereas the
disease known or described as the Pleuro-
Pneumonia has appeared amongst Horned
Cattle in certain parts of the neighbouring
Colony of New South Wales, and it
is necessary to take measures to prevent
the introduction into this Colony of the
said disease: Now, therefore, I Sir
George Ferguson Bowen, the Governor
aforesaid, with the advice of the Executive
Council, do, by this my proclamation, prohibit the introduction or
importation into this Colony of any
Horned Cattle whatsoever, unless the
person or persons in charge of the same
shall have first obtained from the Commissioner for Diseases in Cattle, or one
of the Inspectors appointed under the
provisions of the above recited Act, a
Certificate to the effect that the Cattle
in his or their charge are not affected
with the disease known or described as
Pleuro-Pneumonia. And I do hereby
also notify and proclaim, that all Horned
Cattle which may be introduced or imported into the said Colony from any
District of any of the Australian Colonies which shall be known to be, or to
have been, infected with the said disease,
shall be liable to be seized, and may be
forfeited, although such Cattle may not
be infected with the said disease, and
the Commissioner or any Inspector may
at his discretion refuse to give such
Certificate in respect of any Cattle coming
from any infected district, although the
same may not be infected with the said
disease. And I do hereby notify and
proclaim that, in pursuance of the provisions of the said Act, Inspectors will
be stationed at the following townships,
namely, Warwick, Goondiwindi, and
at or near the junction of the Mooni
and Macintyre Rivers; and all persons
travelling to this Colony with, or in
charge of, Horned Cattle are hereby
directed to give timely notice thereof
to the said Commissioner, or to
some one of such Inspectors.

And I do hereby further notify and proclaim
that the persons at present severally
holding the office of Scab Inspector at
the ports of Brisbane, Maryborough,
Gladstone, and Rockhampton, shall be
the persons to whom notice shall be
given, and of and from whom the necessary
Certificate that all Horned Cattle
arriving at the said ports are not affected
as aforesaid shall be obtained. And I
