At tlie Council Chamber, Whitehall, the 10th day of August, 
1S69. 
By the Lords of Her Majesty’s Alost Honourable Privy Council. 
Whereas by reason of the passing of the Contagious Diseases 
(Animals) Act, 1869 (in this order referred to as the Act of 1869),

with, whereby all former orders in force relative to contagious and 
infectious diseases among animals are revoked, and of another Order 
of Council also bearing even date herewith relating to contagious 
and infectious diseases among animals in Great Britain, it has 
become expedient to renew such of the provisions of former orders 
relating to the metropolis as are intended to remain in operation, 
and to make some further provisions for better preventing the intro¬ 
duction or spreading of contagious or infectious diseases among ani¬ 
mals in or through the metropolis :

power enabling them in this behalf, do order, and it is hereby
