General
I have the honor to make the following Monthly Report for the Month of February 1868, in Compliance with Circular No. "10" dated Head Quarters Asst. Comr. State of Virginia Bureau R.F and A.L. Richmond Va. March 12th 1866.   Of the manner in which the order restoring to the State authorities Jurisdiction in the trial of Criminal Cases of Freedman has resulted in the 3d Division 1st Sub. Dist of Va. consisting of the counties of Nansemond and Isle of Wight Virginia.
 
There has been no Criminal Cases tried by the Courts since I came here. There will be Six Cases tried next month at Isle of Wight Court which I shall attend. When the Freedmen are brought before the Magistrates it seems that there is no confidence placed in their evidence.
