GOVERNMENT NOTICE 194 of 1921, as amended by Government

Notice 118 of 1923.

The title of these Regulations is Report of Animals to the

Police Regulations.

Owners of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, donkeys, horses and

mules shall, within the first six days of the month of January of

each year and, in the case of pigs within the first six days of the

month of July of each year as well, report to the senior Police

officer on duty in the nearest Police Station of the district, the

number of such animals in their possession stating the place in

which they are kept and, in the case of cattle and donkeys,

specifying the sex and the breed.

Any increase in the number of animals, whether by birth or

purchase, or any reduction, whether by sale, death or slaughter

shall also be reported; all animals sold for slaughter should be

considered as slaughtered, and animals which on the days above-

stated are not yet one month old may not be taken into account.

On the statement being made by either the owner or the

person in charge, the other person shall cease to be bound to make

the same statement, but no person shall be excused on the grounds

of having erroneously believed that the statement had been made by

another person.

The owner or the person in charge, as the case may be, who

fails to make the reports contemplated in regulations 2 and 3 of

these Regulations, or who makes a false or incorrect report shall,

on conviction, be liable to the punishments laid down for

contraventions.
