WHEREAS, by "The Diseased Cattle Act, 1861," it is enacted that the Governor in Council may, by warrant under his hand, from time to time, delegate to the Superintendent of any Province or any other person within the said Colony, all or any of the powers vested in the Governor in Council by the said Act, subject to such regulations as he may think fit, and from time to time to rescind such delegation;
And whereas, by an Order in Council dated the third day of February, one thousand eight hundred and sixty nine, His Excellency Sir George Fergusson Bowen, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, by and with the advice of the Executive Council of the said Colony, did hereby delegate to me, Conrad Hoos, Chairman of the County Council of the County of Westland, the several powers vested in him by the second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth and tenth Sections of the said Act, subject to be rescinded as in the said Act provided, and subject to the Regulations issued by the Governor on the eighteenth day of September, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, and to any other Regulations to be from time to time duly made;
And whereas it has been made to appear to me that it is necessary to revoke the 7th clause of the Regulations made under and in pursuance of the powers delegated to me under "The Diseased Cattle Acts," published in the County of Westland Gazette, No. 4, of the 2nd of February, 1870, and to make other provisions in lieu thereof. Now, therefore, I, Conrad Hoos, Chairman of the County Council of Westland, in pursuance of the powers in that behalf vested in me, do hereby revoke the aforesaid Regulation, and do make the following one in lieu thereof:
All owners or persons having the custody, care, or possession of any cattle within the said infected district shall, within fourteen days from the 10th day of July next, give a notice, in writing, to the Inspector of Cattle for the County of Westland, containing the number of such cattle, the particulars as nearly as can be of the place or places where such cattle are kept or are, the color and brands separately of each beast; and if such owners or persons should lose any such cattle by death, such owner or person shall immediately give notice, in writing, to the Inspector of Cattle aforesaid, and such notice shall contain the color and brand of each beast; and any person purchasing, or receiving into their custody, care, or possession, any cattle, shall immediately give notice, in writing, to the Inspector of Cattle aforesaid, stating the name of the person from whom purchased or obtained, and the description, color, and brand of each beast separately; and if such owners or persons shall neglect or refuse to obey this Regulation, they shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding Ten pounds.
Given under my hand at Hokitika this ninth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and seventy.
C. Hoos.
