[No. 374.—Petition of Ann Pratt.]

Petitioner, who is a half-caste, prays that a mutton-bird island called Pieti may be returned to her and to the people who own the island.

I am directed to report as follows: That the petition should be referred to the Government for inquiry.

Ko te kai-pitihana he Hawhekaihe e inoi ana kia whakahokia te Motu tiiti e karangatia nei ko Pieti ki nga tangata no ratou taua motu.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou.
