Genl
I have the honor to make the following report relative to the Administration of Civil Justice in the Sub-Dist comprising the Counties of Smyth, Tazewell and Bland of the 8th Dist Va for the month of September 1866.

As far as I am acquainted, the civil courts have administered justice and impartiality to to the Freedmen, during the month of September whenever he has called upon them for the same. I know of no case during the present month where he has not had justice given him.

I am Genl very Respectfully
Your Obedt. Servt
