Bureau R.F & A. Lands.
4th Div. 1st Dist. (Sub) Va.
Jerusalem March 31st 1868.

Bvt. Brig. Genl. O. Brown,
Asst. Comr.

General:
I have the honor (in accordance with Cir. No. 10, Series 1866) to report that I have not seen or heard of any case before the Courts, or a Magistrate where "Civil Justice" has been partially administered. I availed myself of the privileges of Cir. No. 10, referred to above - and witnessed the examination of several cases where Refugees and freedmen were parties. I am satisfied that no right belonging to them was infringed or denied.

I do not anticipate any difficulty in this respect - as I shall strictly conform to the requirements of Cir. No. 10. of 1866 - and look after all such cases before courts, and during court.

I have the honor to be, very Respectfully
Your obdt. Servt.
