Live Stock Import Regulations. [Jan., 



The Board desire, therefore, to bring to the notice of all persons 

 exporting horses, asses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs to France,, 

 that the landing can only take place through certain specified 

 Customs Houses ; and that the stock must be accompanied by 

 a certificate of origin from the administrative authority of the 

 place from which they come, certifying that no contagious dis- 

 ease affecting animals of the species in question exists or has 

 existed in that place during the preceding six weeks. A 

 summary of the regulations was given in the Journal, August,. 



According to the regulations issued under the " Diseases in 

 Stock Act of 1896" live stock may be imported into Queens- 

 land from Great Britain under the follow- 



twenty-four hours' notice of his desire to land stock. He shall 

 also deliver to the inspector (1) a declaration that the stock are 

 entirely free from disease, the declaration being countersigned 

 b,y the master of the vessel, and by the attendant (if any) upon 

 the stock during the voyage; this declaration must be made 

 before a Justice of the Peace ; and (2) a certificate issued by a duly 

 qualified veterinary surgeon at the port of shipment to the effect 

 that the stock were entirely free from disease when they were 

 shipped. 



All such stock are to be forthwith examined by a duly 

 authorised inspector and veterinary surgeon, and if the stock are 

 found to be infected they may be ordered to be destroyed, or 

 dressed, inoculated, or otherwise treated as the Chief Inspector 

 directs. All such stock as are free from infection shall, if the 

 inspector so directs, be first disinfected and cleansed to his satis- 

 faction, and shall then be landed and removed to quarantine. 

 No imported stock shall be transhipped in any port in Queens- 

 land except by the written permission of an inspector.
