The Cattle Plague.

A second Supplement to the London Gazette of
Friday last, published on Saturday evening, contains
the following :
By the Lords of her Majesty's Most Honourable
Privy Council.

Present—Lord President, Duke of Somerset, Sir
Geo. Grey, Bart., and Mr. Milner Gibson.
Whereas, by an act passed in the session of the
11th and 12th years of her present Majesty's reign,
intituled "An act to prevent until the Ist day of
September, 1850, and to the end of the then next
session of Parliament, the spreading of contagious
or infectious disorders among sheep, cattle, and other
animals," which act has since been from time to
time continued by divers subsequent acts, and lastly
by an act passed in the session of the 28th and 29th
years of her present Majesty, it is (amongst other
things) enacted that it shall be lawful for the Lords
and others of her Majesty's Privy Council, or any
two or more of them, from time to time to make
such orders and regulations as to them may seem
necessary for the purpose of prohibiting or regulat-
ing the removal to or from such parts or places as
they may designate in such order or orders, of sheep,
cattle, horses, swine, or other animals, or of meat,
skins, hides, horns, hoofs, or other parts of any
animals, and to make any other orders or regulations
for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of
the said act, and again to revoke, alter, or vary any
such orders or regulations ; and that all provisions
for any of the purposes aforesaid in any such order
or orders contained, shall have the like force and
effect as if the same had been inserted in the said
act ; and that all persons offending against the same
shall for each and every offence forfeit and pay any
sum not exceeding twenty pounds, or such smaller
sum as the said lords or others of her Majesty's
Privy Council may in any case by such order direct.
And whereas a contagious or infectious disorder
now prevails among cattle within part of the United
Kingdom called Great Britain, which disorder is
generally designated as the " cattle plague."
And whereas with a view to check the spreading of
the said disorder, an order dated the 23d of Novem-
ber, 1865, has been made under the authority of the
said acts by the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Coun-
cil, consolidating and amending certain orders pro-
viously made for that purpose.
And whereas it is expedient to alter and amend
the said order of the 23d of November, 1865.
Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy
Council do hereby, in exercise of the powers given
by the said act, so continued as aforesaid, order as
follows :

1. So much of the said order, dated the 23d of
November, 1865, as defines the local authority in
Great Britain, is hereby revoked.
2. Subject to the powers reserved by the orderof
the 23d of November to the Clerk of her Majesty's
Privy Council, the local authority within the city of
London, and the liberties thereof, shall be the Lord
Mayor ; in every borough in England or Wales
which is within the provisions of the Municipal Cor-
poration Act, the mayor ; in every county, riding,
or division of a county, or liberty, having a separate
court of quarter sessions of the peace in England or
Wales, the justices of the peace for the said county,
riding, or division of a county, or liberty, in general
or quarter sessions assembled : provided that no
county of a city, or county of a town, or borough,
which is within the provisions of the Municipal
Corporations Act, shall be deemed for the purposes
of this order part of a county, riding, division, or
liberty. The local authority in every burgh or town
in Scotland having a town council shall be the pro-
vost or other principal magistrate ; and in any other
place in Scotland, the justices of the county in ses-
sions assembled.

3. All appointments made, notices given, and
other acts done by any local authority under and by
virtue of the said order of the 23d of November,
1865, or the orders thereby revoked, shall be valid
and effectual until altered, varied, or revoked by
the local authority hereby constituted, and such local
authority shall have and exercise all the powers
given by the said order of the 23d of November,
1865, to the local authority therein described.

4. Whenever any local authority declares, by notice
published in any newspaper circulating within its
jurisdiction, that it is expedient for a time to be
specified in such notice, that no cow, heifer, bull,
bullock, ox, or calf shall, except under such condi-
tions as such local authority shall think fit to im-
pose with a view to prevent the spreading of the
said disorder, be removed from any particular part
of the jurisdiction of such local authority to any

other part of such jurisdiction, or from any place
or places within such jurisdiction, to be specified in
such notice, to any other place or places so specified,
or from place to place generally within such juris-
diction, or within any specified part thereof ; then
it shall not be lawful for any person to remove any
such animal in contravention of such notice : pro-
vided always, that nothing contained in this clause
of this order shall make it unlawful for any person
to send or carry any such animal by railway through
or out of such jurisdiction, or to send or carry any
such animal if brought by sea from any place out
of Great Britain into such jurisdiction, to the
nearest convenient railway station, for the purpose
of carrying it through or out of such jurisdiction.
5. Any local authority may from time to time re-
new, revoke, alter, or vary, all or any part of any
notice published or to be published by him or them,
or any previous local authority within his or their
jurisdiction, under the powers given under this or
any former orders, either absolutely or under such
conditions as to such local authority may seem
proper, by a further notice to be published in the
same manner as such notice is required to be pub-
lished.

6. The notice required by section 8 of the order
of the 23d of November, 1865, to be given in Eng-
land to the clerk of the justices acting in and for a
petty sessional division of a county, shall hereafter
be given to the clerk of the peace of such county.
7. This order shall be in force from the 3d day
of January next until the Ist day of March next,
and no longer, unless continued by some further
order.

8. Every person offending against this order
shall, in pursuance of the said act, for every such
offence forfeit any sum not exceeding twenty pounds,
which the justices before whom he or she shall be
convicted of such offence may think fit to impose.
