Henry Davis. Simple assault and battery upon Mace Morrison (freedman) Plead guilty and was fined One Dollar

There has been no civil actions brought before the courts during the last month but I have adjudicated a great many Claims against the whites for the freedman and as a general thing they have sustained their accounts and collected their money

My impression is that the freedpeople have had justice rendered them in but verry few instances in which their cases have been turned over to the Civil Authorities or where they have in the first place sought redress before said authorities

Verry Respectfully 
Your Obt Servt
