REPORT ON ORDINANCE NO.10 OF 1898.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, en-

#

An Ordinance to further amend The Cattle Di-

seases, Slaughter Houses, and Markets Ordinance,1887,"

and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not

contrary to the Governor's Instructions.

Ordinance No. 17 of 1887 omitted to confer the power to authorize the Sanitary Board to prohibit or regulate the movement of persons into, within, or out of, an infected place or area. In a recent outbreak of rinderpost this omission was found to be incouvenient. In the English Act, 57 and 58 Vict. c. 57, section 22, sub-section (2), proper provision in that respect is made, and the local Ordinance has accordingly been amended to bring it more into line with sub-sections (2) and (4) of section 22 of the English Diseases of Animals Act, 1894.

W. MEIGH Goodman, Atturury General.
