>From Colonial Times (Hobart, TAS), 9 January 1838 -- --We understand the passengers of that unfortunate vessel, the Bussorah Merchant, have entirely recovered from the pestilence, with which they have been so seriously afflicted, and that they may shortly be expected to arrive in Hobart Town. Since their landing, the whole of the passengers and crew, have been placed under strict quarantine. We hear also, that Belle Vue has been rented by the Government, expressly for the accommodation of these emigrants, till such time as they may be enabled to obtain work. >From Colonial Times (Hobart, TAS), 16 January 1838 -- Domestic Intelligence We are sorry to say, that the accounts received respecting the state of health of the Bussorah Merchant emigrants, are anything but favorable. That pestilential disorder, the small- pox, has been entirely cured, but unfortunately there are four or five cases of confirmed hooping cough. Five children and one woman have died since the quarantine commenced, and several other passengers were anything but well. We believe every attention is paid to these unfortunate creatures. The vessel has been fumigated, and is allowed to proceed to Singapore, with a clean bill of health.
