Sir,
In compliance with circular No 10 dated Hd. Qrs. Asst. Commissioner State of Va. Richmond Va. March 12th, 1866 I have the honor to report that no criminal cases have been tried in the Civil Courts of Madison and Greene Counties Va in which freedmen were a party, but several suits have been brought by Freedmen before the Warrant Courts of Madison County which were decided in their favor. These suits were mostly for balances due for their labor during the last year

I am very respectfully
Your obedient servant
Saml. W. Carpenter
Capt. V.R.C. and Asst. Supt.
