HBH 1890 June 14 Thos. HACKTER Gisborne-Friday Thos. HACKTER, late of AUCKLAND, accidentally injured himself with a knife, severing an artery in one of his legs. He died at the hospital. A gentleman at HOKIANGA writes to a friend here that his brother was north a few days ago on a vaccination tour to HEREKINO, and reports an outbreak of leprosy at Herekino amongst the natives, several whom have died from it, while others are in a fearful state. The natives are scared and avoid each other. Timoti PUHIPI recommends that the lepers be deported to Three Kings Island.
