or regulating movements into tlieir district from that of any other local 

 authority in England, Wales, or Scotland. 



The local authority may also make such regulations as they think 

 fit for regulating or prohibiting the movements of swine within their 

 district, giving the usual notice to railway companies. No Order of 

 the local authority can authorize the movements into, within, or out 

 of a swine fever infected area, or authorize the movements of swine 

 which are affected. 



Local authorities may, with the view of preventing the spread of 

 disease, make such regulations as they deem fit for prohibiting or 

 regulating the sale of swine within their district. 



Pigs found in any public place, or during transit, to be affected with 

 the disease are to be seized by the Inspector, together with in-contaots, 

 removed to some convenient place for isolation, and await the orders 

 of the Board. 



If the owner requests slaughter the Inspector can give a licence for 

 the purpose available for twelve hours, and shall specify where the 

 destruction is to be effected. 



The place where the swine have been seized can only be declared an 

 infected place by the Board, but it is not to be used again until a 

 Veterinary Inspector certifies it has been cleansed and disinfected. 



Expenses connected with the seizure of animals and execution of 

 this Order can be recovered from the owner. 



Any place declared infected with swine fever remains so until the 

 Order of the Board in writing declares it to be free. 



An order known as the Marhet and Fairs {Swine Fever) Order of 

 1896 applies only to such districts or part of districts as the Board shall 

 define. Wherever it applies no local authority can permit a market, 

 fair, sale, or exhibition of fat or store swine to take place in a district, 

 excepting under the special condition which this Order defines. 



A local authority may, if they are satisfied the proposed exhibition is 

 a bona fide agrieultm:al show, allow it to take place under licence pro- 

 vided it is not being held in a swine fever infected area, and they may 

 authorize the sale of swine at such exhibition under such conditions as 

 they think expedient. 



In the same way, they may under licence permit the sale of fat or 

 store swine, provided it does not occur in a swine fever infected area, 

 and under the following special conditions : 



1. That the sale is held on a farm or premises not in a swine fever 



infected place. 



2. That no pig on the farm or premises is affected with swine fever. 



3. That each pig has been on the farm or premises not less than 



28 clear days. 



4. That during that period no pig has been brought on to the
