Causa criminal — a mission Indian *alcalde* killed a neophyte (threw a stick ~30 paces that struck his head, for not working as he should). Ruled accidental, no culpability; but the fiscal urges a punishment 'para que… conozcan los demás alcaldes é indiada el que de ningún modo deben castigar… á sus súbditos' beyond what humanity allows. Notable on mission Indian-alcalde authority & violence. Orig. pp.88–96
