I have the honor to submit the following report in regard to the administration of Civil Justice in my Division.

But two cases have come before the Courts of my Division during the past month in which Freedmen were interested.  In one of them (in Craig Co) I am informed that the verdict of the jury was an unjust one, the amount allowed the Freedwoman for services not being in accordance with the evidence: The Counsel for the Freedwoman promised to furnish me a full statement of the case, including evidence &c.  I shall investigate and report as soon as I receive that evidence
