Other important cases between Whites and Blacks are to come before the same Court, but it has adjourned until the 5th of April, at the session of the Monthly County Count of Powhatan County which was held on the 1st Monday of this month, ever examined Edward Brent, Charles Brent, Henry Mitcher, and Richard Halloway, (Freedmen) charged with Felony and sent on for further trial at the next term of the Circuit Court. In all of the above cases, I have the honor to state that in my opinion there was an impartial administration of justice to the freedmen and the law respecting their testimony carried out in good faith

Very Bestly
