8. A local authority on exercising for the purposes of this Act 
the borrowing powers vested in tliem under sections twenty-two, 
twenty-three, and twenty-four of the Cattle Diseases Prevention 
Act, 1866, and under The Cattle Diseases Prevention Amendment 
Act, 1866, may give as security for repayment of money borrowed 
with interest (eitlier together with the local rate, if any, or sepa¬ 
rately therefrom) the charges which they are authorized by section 
forty-seven of The Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act, 1867, to 
make for the use of places provided by them thereunder, and any 
estates, revenues, or funds belonging to them and not otherwise 
appropriated by law. 
9. Nothing in this Act shall prevent the Privy Council from 
approving of more places than one within the district of a local 
authority as places for the landing, reception, sale, and slaughter 
of foreign animals, or any one or more of those purposes ; but the 
Privy Council shall not approve of any place as a place for the 
landing, reception, sale, or slaughter of foreign animals, unless 
either the same is provided by the Local Authority or the approval 
of the Privy Council with respect to the same is applied for by the 
Local Authority. 
10. At any time after the passing of this Act the Privy Council 
may, by notice in writing addressed to a local authority, require 
that local authority to provide within a time specified in the notice, 
not being in any case less than one year or more than three years 
after the delivery of the notice, a separate place or separate places 
for the landing, reception, sale, and slaughter of foreign animals, or 
for any one or more of those purposes, and thereupon that local 
authority shall, within that time, provide a separate place or sepa¬ 
rate places accordingly, to the satisfaction of the Privy Council; 
and if the local authority fails to do so within the time specified in 
the notice, or within such enlarged time, if any, as the Privy 
Council may from time to time allow (which’ allowance the Privy 
Council are hereby authorized to make, provided that such time 
shall in no case exceed, in the whole, three years from the passing 
of this Act), the Privy Council may certify the same to the Board 
of Trade. 
11. On a certificate being made under this Act the Board of 
Trade shall, in lieu of the local authority, have all the powers vested 
in the local authority under The Contagious Diseases (Animals) 
Act in relation to disposal of foreign animals, including the power 
of making charges for the use of places provided for the reception, 
sale, and slaughter thereof, and the power of borrowing from the 
Public Works Loan Commissioners conferred by section four of 
The Cattle Diseases Prevention Amendment Act, 1866, but without 
the restriction imposed by that section on the borrowing powers of 
local authorities with reference to the amount of rate. 
12. Notwithstanding anything in this Act, the Privy Council 
may, from time to time, exempt from the provisions of this Act, or 
any of them, classes of foreign animals, or foreign animals imported 
from specified countries in which no cattle plague has existed for
