Also 4 cases reported at his office on the 20th inst. Respectfully forwarded to the Asst Commissioner whose attention is respectfully invited to the fact that the investigation ordered in endorsement of Asst Commissioner date Feb 5th does not appear to have been made. It is respectfully suggested that the "neglect" of Civil Courts to furnish crimes against Freedmen may be the result of ignorance of the offices of such Courts of the extent of the jurisdiction allowed them, in such cases within the Military Authorities.
