Garrick Mallery
AAA Genl

Sir
I have the honor to make the following report of the administration of civil justice in my sub dist comprising the counties of Washington Russel Buchanan Scott Lee and Wise for the month of April 1867 as follows.

Civil justice is administered impartially to white and colored alike both in the County and District Courts. There is no seeming disposition either on the part of judge or jurors not to give every one full justice.

Very Respectfully
Your obedient servant
John O. O'neill
Capt & Asst Sub Asst Comr
