APPENDIX 



An Order passed by the Department of Agriculture 

 and Technical Instruction for Ireland came into 

 force on July 1, 19Ut), prohibiting the landing in 

 Ireland of horses, asses, or mules, brought from 

 any port or place in Great Britain, the Isle of 

 Man, or the Channel Islands, except under 

 certain restrictions ; and as this has escaped 

 general notice, and much inconvenience may be 

 caused by ignorance of the clauses, they are here 

 stated. The animals must be accompanied by 



(1) A statutory declaration, made not more 



than three days before shipment, by the 

 owner of the horses, asses, or mules, or his 

 authorised agent, to the effect that the 

 animals have not, within the preceding 

 two months, been affected with glanders, 

 or farcy, or parasitic mange, nor been 

 exposed to the infection of those diseases ; 

 and 



(2) A veterinary surgeon's certificate, granted 



not more than two days before shipment, 

 to the effect that the animals were then 

 free from the diseases above specified. 



Before landing, these documents must be 

 delivered to an authorised Inspector of the 



261
