Bureau R F & A Lands
Sub-Dist Goochland & Fluvanna cos
Goochland C.H. Va. March 31st 67

Brig. Genl. O. Brown.
Asst. Com'r.

General:
In accordance with Circular No. 10. I have the honor to report

That the Testimony of Freedmen has in all cases been admitted. That I know of no cases of injustice. There has been delay in having preliminary hearings after persons have been committed by Magistrates resulting from fact that in Dec. '66 & January 67 the county court held no term on account of the bad weather preventing a sufficient number of Magistrates from attending to form a court. And the months following the prisoners were not brought here
