QUARANTINING OF STOCK. 



The chief quarantine ground for stock in the colony is at Woodman's Point, a 

 distance of seven miles from Fremantle, where excellent accommodation has been pro- 

 vided for the care of animals while performing the prescribed periods of isolation. A 

 special quarantine ground has, however, been declared for camels, to the north of 

 Fremantle, and dogs imported from any place outside the Australian colonies and 

 New Zealand must be quarantined either at Rottnest Island, near Fremantle, or 

 Geake's Island, near Albany. 



The Governor may at any time proclaim temporary quarantine stations anywhere 

 within the province, either for the purpose of isolating imported or diseased stock. In 

 the case of the latter, the period of quarantine is left entirely to the discretion of the 

 inspector. 



All expenses in connection with the quarantining of stock must be paid by the 

 owner, and in default of payment the stock may be sold by the inspector to recover 

 the cost of quarantine. 



"THE DROVING ACT, 1894," 



Under this Act all stock become " travelling stock " which are taken or driven , 

 or are about to be taken or driven, to any place more than forty miles from the run 

 upon which such stock were depastured previous to starting. 



If the actual proprietor of any stock intends to act as drover he shall provide him- 

 self with a way bill in the form of the first schedule, and sign it in the presence of a 

 subscribing witness ; but whenever any person other than the proprietor, or the 

 proprietor's manager, acts as drover, he must be provided with a delivery note in the 

 form of the second schedule. Should the way bill or delivery note be accidentally lost 

 or destroyed, the drover shall apply in writing to the nearest justice of the peace, stock 

 inspector, or officer in charge of a police station, for an interim way bill or 

 delivery note, as the case may be ; such interim note or way bill only to 

 be granted on the production of satisfactory proof of the loss of the original, and the 

 payment of -i. Any justice of the peace, constable, inspector of stock, or authorised 

 agent of an inspector, or the owner of any run through which stock are travelling, 

 may inspect the way bill or delivery note and the stock. Any proprietor, manager, or 

 drover failing to comply with the requirements of this section shall, on conviction, be 

 liable to a penalty not exceeding 50. 



All travelling horses, asses, mules, camels, and horned cattle shall be moved not 

 less than eight miles per diem, and sheep or goats not less than five, or when through 

 enclosed lands seven miles per diem towards their destination. If it can be satisfactorily 

 proved to any justice of the peace or inspector, or the occupier of the run through 

 or along which such stock are travelling, that, owing to some unforseen cause the 

 compliance with the foregoing provisions would entail unnecessary hardship, they may 

 be varied as deemed expedient.
