EXECUTIVE MANSION, _April 21, 1888_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
I return without approval House bill No. 823, entitled "An act granting
a pension to Hannah C. De Witt."
An act the precise duplicate of this was passed at the present session
of the Congress, and received Executive approval on the 10th day of
March, 1888. Pursuant to said act the name of the beneficiary mentioned
in the bill herewith returned has been placed upon the pension rolls.
The second enactment is of course entirely useless, and was evidently
passed by mistake.
