1907.] Sheep-Dipping Orders, 1907. 743 



The person importing the sheep is to give at least twenty- 

 four hours' notice, in writing, to the Chief Constable, and to the 

 Inspector, of the port at which he proposes to land such sheep, 

 and of the boat by which he proposes to import them. 



Ireland. — The Department of Agriculture and Technical 

 Instruction for Ireland have made a new Order — the " Importa- 

 tion of Horses, Asses, and Mules (Ireland) Order of 1907 " — by 

 which the similar Order of 1906* is revoked. The regulations in 

 the new Order came intD operation on February 21st, 1907, and 

 from that date inclusi\ e supersede those hitherto in force res- 

 pecting the importation into Ireland of horses, asses, and mules 

 from Great Britain, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. 



As a result of this change, animals of these classes, which 

 could previously be imported on the production of a veterinary 

 certificate, and a declaration from their owner that the animals 

 had not been exposed to infection, are from February 21st, 

 ^907, required to be accompanied by a permit from the Depart- 

 ment before their importation can be effected ; and the impor- 

 tation is subject in each instance to such conditions as may be 

 prescribed in the permit. 



Persons seeking permits should make timely application in the 

 matter to the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruc- 

 tion, Upper Merrion Street, Dublin, so that a sufficient interval 

 may be allowed in all cases for any inquiries that may be con- 

 sidered necessary.
