Captain:
I have the honor to make the following report of "Criminal Trials" in this Sub-Dist for the Month ending Oct. 31st 1866

The number of trials has been very light this month and I think the Magistrates are improving in their manner of Conducting such trials

The evidence of Colored persons is accepted with more fairness but the sentiment of the community is still such as to prevent impartial trials

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
Geo. T. Cook.
1st Lt V.R.C. and Asst Supt.
