ORDER OF COUNCIL. 
SCAB IN SHEEP. 
The following Order, relative to scab in sheep, has recently been 
issued by the Lords of the Council : — 
1. This Order shall take effect from and immediately after the 9th 
day of August, 1871 ; and words in this Order have the same 
meaning as in the Act of 1869. 
2. A local authority may, from time to time, with the view of 
preventing the spreading of sheep-scab, make regulations for the 
following purposes, or any of them : — 
For prohibiting any person from having in his possession or 
under his charge a sheep affected with sheep-scab, without 
treating that sheep, or causing it to be treated, with some 
dressing or dipping or other remedy for sheep-scab ; 
For prohibiting or regulating the movement out of any field, 
stable, cowshed, or other premises in which sheep-scab has 
been found to exist, of any sheep that has been in contact 
with, or in the same field, stable, cowshed, or other premises 
with any sheep affected with sheep-scab ; 
For cleansing or disinfecting sheds and places used by sheep 
affected with sheep-scab ; 
and may, from time to time, revoke any such regulation. 
3. Provided that the Privy Council, if satisfied on inquiry, with 
respect to any regulation made under this Order, that the same is of 
too restrictive a character, or otherwise objectionable, may direct 
the revocation thereof, and thereupon, as from the time specified in 
that behalf by the Privy Council, the same shall cease to operate.
