General

In compliance with Circular No 10 Head Quarters Asst. Commissioner Bureau of Refugees Freedmen & Abd Lands Richmond Va dated March 12th 1866, I have the honor to report that but one case of a criminal nature wherein Freedmen were parties has been tried in my Sub district during the month of September 1866.

The Freedman in this case was treated with impartiality and fairness and the law respecting their testimony was I think carried out in good faith.

Very Respectfully
Your Obd Servt
