Another unfortunate Chinaman has been condemned to linger out the remainder of his miserable life in the Lawrence lasaretto. The man whose name is Ah Cow, and is 30 years of age, was brought in from Waipori by Constable Boyd, on Wednesday, the 31st July. Dr. Stewart on examining him, found that he wivs afflicted with leprosy, and that the disease was in its earlier stages. The poor wretch's body is covered with blotches, and his toes are rotting off. He was immediately on his arrival placed in the lazar house, on the hill, and measures taken to keep him well provided with food. This is the third case of leprosy that has oc curred in the Tuapeka district;. We believe that the Chinese at Waipori have been called upon to contribute to Ah Cow's support.
