Head Qrs Dept of Va Richmond Va Feb 7"/66 Respty returned to Col O Brown. The suit mentioned within was discontinued by my order. it could not have been sustained on any principle of law whatever James Lyons simply gave information to the police of his lose and of the fact that these two men had been see near the stable about the time where the animals were taken. The arrest was made by the police on what was esteemed reasonable grounds of suspicion. The whole case was the ordinary one of innocent men being arrested on reasonable suspicion. James Lyons does not appear to have been influenced by any improper motive & therefore no suit can be sustained against him. In my judgement the suit which I ordered to be discontinued ws vexatious & malicious. (Sgd) Alf. N.

Transcription Notes:
Re: date at top of first page, I realize the writer must have meant "1866" but the character doesn't look like an 8 to me so I've transcribed it as a 7 for now
- It is shorthand /66 for 1866.
- Respty is shorthand for Respectfully
