- Report: forwarding petition of Indians (91 in number) for a tract of land in Oso and Bedford Townships consisting of about 2000 acres for their settlement.

Recommends that this tract be set aside in the same manner as other reserves. States that the government has for many years wanted to collect the scattered bands, many of whom are still leading a wild and roving life in the northern parts of the Province. with a view to having them settle in one place. Includes certificate of W. Morris attesting to having known Peter (last name illegible) for 20 years, and recommends that the petition be granted.
