Your report of your proceedings for the month of May is received. and I am directed by the Asst Comm'r. to call your attention to the order forbidding Commissioned Officers to receive pay for services rendered, and to instruct you to return at once all the monies received by you from anyone for such services to the parties from whom it was received, and to report to this office your reasons for charging anyone for services rendered, in violation of orders.  

By reference to Circulars, 4. 5. & 6. C.S. from this office, you will see that none but Civil Agents of the Bureau, have authority to try cases. These matters must be tried by Civil Authorities as therein indicated.
