Letter to the Editor, Sydney Gazette .
Sir, the death
of an aborigine on Wed last on the North Shore in open bush, induces me to
enquire whether the Protectors of Aborigines have taken any measures to discuss
and attend to cases of sickness amongst the black population in the
neighbourhood of these towns where the police and medical establishments afford
so many facilities. The poor creature “Whippem-up” or Newton … lay for some
days with no shelter from the late rain storms under some sugar bags. He was
attached to the Bungaree Tribe having originally been brought from Broken Bay
by a gentleman named Newton. … When Bungaree … fell sick … he was not received
into the hospital till an order had been received from the Colonial Secretary.
