At the Government House, at Wellington, this

His Excellency the Governor in Council.
WHEREAS, by "The Marine Act, 1867," it is enacted that the Governor shall, from time to time as occasion may require, make and issue Quarantine Regulations to be in force in any part or parts of the Colony, and that the Governor in Council may, from time to time, make, publish, alter, modify, annul, or repeal such bye-laws or regulations as to him shall seem fit for carrying into effect and enforcing the powers and duties by the said Act vested in and imposed on the said Governor:
And whereas by an Order in Council, dated the twenty-fifth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, certain Quarantine Regulations for the several Ports and Harbors of the Colony of New Zealand were made and promulgated:
And whereas it is desirable to modify the said Regulations, and to make the additional Regulations herein contained:
Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of New Zealand, and in pursuance of the above recited power and authority, doth hereby make the following additional Quarantine Regulations, to be in force within all the Ports of New Zealand, and doth order that the same shall come into operation and take effect in each Province on and from the date of publication thereof in the Gazette of each Province, and in the County of Westland on and from the day of publication thereof in the County of Westland Gazette.
REGULATIONS.
-
In the event of there being any sickness on board of any vessel arriving from any port in the Australian Colonies or New Zealand, or in the event of there having been any sickness on board of any vessel so arriving during her voyage from any such Australian or New Zealand port, the Master of such vessel shall first hoist the Health Officer’s flag, mentioned in the Quarantine Regulations already in force, and otherwise act in the same manner as if such vessel were arriving from any port not in the Australian Colonies.
-
No vessel which is bound by the foregoing Regulations, or by the Quarantine Regulations already in force, to hoist the Health Officer’s flag, is to bring up in the usual anchorage, even in the event of there being delay in communicating with her, from any cause whatsoever: and every vessel so bound to hoist the health officer’s flag as aforesaid, which may enter any New Zealand port by night, shall be brought up clear of the shipping, and the master of such vessel shall hoist a bright light at the main, in addition to the usual anchor light, as if such vessel were actually in Quarantine, until she has been communicated with as provided by the Quarantine Regulations.
