the said Province of Southland into any
part of the said Province of Otago :

And Whereas it is expedient that the
importation of Cattle from the said Pro-

Now, Therefore, I, John Hyde Harris,
by virtue of the powers vested in me in
this behalf, do hereby proclaim and declare

clamation of the 26th day of February
last, so far as the same prohibits the im-
portation of Cattle by sea into the Pro-
vince of Otago by way of the Port of Dunedin;
and also so far as the same prohibits the
driving of Cattle from the said Province
of Southland into the said Province of
Otago across those parts of the borders of
the said Province as are now or may here-
after be declared to be an Infected District within
the meaning of the said Act; Provided,
however, that nothing herein contained
shall be taken to prevent the Inspector of
Cattle appointed under the said Act from
inspecting Cattle on board any vessel in
the said Port, imported from Southland,
or from performing any of the duties of
his office in regard to such Cattle, as
specified in the fourth section of the said
Act.

Given under my hand and issued
under the Public Seal of the
