General
I have the honor to report in compliance with Cir No 10 Series 1866, that no cases have been reported in which the Courts refuse to give justice or dealt partially in cases where Freedmen were interested parties.  All the Courts admit the testimony of Colored Witnesses.

I do not think that the sentiments of the civil Officers will warrant the conclusion, that a Colored or Union man could get full justice.

I am General
