Bu. R. F. & A. Lands
Head-qurs 2nd Div. 4th Sub Div Va.
Goochland C.H. Va
November 30th 1868

General:
I have the honor to submit the following report on "Result of turning over to civil authorities jurisdiction in criminal cases." for the month ending November 30th, 1868.

During the month now closing no cases have been before the courts for the counties in this division in which colored men were parties, with the exception of one case in Fluvanna Co.

In this case, while it was on trial, the accused, charged with stealing bacon, was left in the Court House on an adjournment of the Court during his trial, the Court having failed to order the Sheriff to take charge of him, and he left for parts unknown.

Very Respectfully &c.
E.C. Morse
A.S.A. Commr
