S. bureau of exchange, we respectfuly submit the following report andd recommenddation:

We find that Robert Ould, although the head of the exchange department, was in no way responsible in accountability for the moneys which passed through that department for Federal or confederate prisoners of war. We fidd also, by reference to Mr. Ould's indorsement book, that he made frequent efforts to have all moneys and valuables which were taken from Federal prisoners by the prison authorities returned to them on their being exchanged. We therefore recommend that the saidd Robert Ouldd be released from arrest,as we find no sufficient grounds for confining him longer.
