Precautions Against Smallpox.
(UNITRD PRESS ASSOCIATION.) .Wellington, Wednesday A meeting of the Central Board of Health was held this afternoon to consider what steps should be taken relating to the outbreak of small-pox m New South Wales, whea it was resolved, " That m consequence of the outbreak of small-pox at Sydney and its extension, passengers and crews by all vessels from Australia any to. receive a thorough medical inspection at the first port of call and all subsequent ports, and that all passenger steamers are to carry a qualified medical practitioner." Coastal passengers will not have to undergo any inspection at the various ports. The board thought the foregoing steps would be quite sufficient to prevent the introduction of the disease to the colony, and by not subjecting vessels to be quarantine would not injure the intercolonial trade.
