A SUPPOSED CASE OF LEPROSY.
[by TELEGRAPH. — PRESS association]. Donkdin, Tuesday. At the inquest on the body of Kum Sue, Dr. Mullin, of the Hospital, gave evidence that the nature of the disease was doubtful. The deceased was examined by nearly all the medical staff, and while some of those who saw him said it was a case of leprosy, others were doubtful. The po*l-mortem appearance of the deceased was compatible with a case of leprosy. Hi? reason for not reporting the case to the Board of Health was that he would be very unwilling to start a scare without having better grounds to work upon. The jury brought in a verdict to the effect that the deceased died from natural causes, adding the following rider : —" That all similar cases of a doubtful character should be reported to the Board of Health."
