“ All foreign animals must be detained and 
inspected on landing. If any one of a cargo 
is found affected with any contagious or in- 
fectious disease, such animal or the whole 
cargo may be detained and slaughtered, or 
otherwise dealt with, as the Privy Council or 
Customs direct. 
“ Compensation maybe withheld in respect of 
any foreign animal slaughtered on account of 
its being affected with cattle plague, or with 
disease suspected to be cattle plague, if it 
appears that the animal was so affected at the 
time of its landing.

ported must not within three months

to observe the above conditions, nor until the 
master of the vessel has made a delaration

going conditions have been observed.
