Bureau R.F. & A. Lands 
Head Qrs. 9th Sub Dist. Va
Winchester, March 30th 1868.

Bt. Brig. Gen. O. Brown
Asst. Comr.
Richmond, Va.

General
I have the honor to state that no cases requiring report under Cir 10 Series of 1866 - have occurred in First division. The Freedmen seldom if ever have recourse to the Courts for the redress of their complaints, and the only cases tried are where freed persons have been arrested for petit larceny. In such cases no injustice has been complained of.

Very Respectfully
Your Obedt Servt
John A McDonnell
Sub. Asst. Comr.
