Asst Commissioner

General,
In compliance with Circular No. 10. Bureau of Refugees Freedmen & Abd Lands Richmond Va dated March 12th 1866, I have the honor to report that all the cases of a criminal nature tried by the Civil Courts in the 1st Div 6th Sub Dist Va - to which colored persons were parties - were treated with impartiality and fairness, and the law respecting their testimony carried out in good faith. With regard to the northern whites settled here it is diferent  they scarcely ever get justice in any case they have tried by the Civil Courts

Very Respectfully
Your Obd Servt
Hector Sears

A.S.A. Commissioner
