Causa vs. Benhamito[?] & Simona, Christian Indians of San José, for the killing of [Santa] María, a Christian Indian of the mission — a fight in which Benhamito beat her and Simona finished the killing when he left her alone.

Escribano José Berreyesa. 'No viene la resolución del Gobierno.' Orig. pp.285–357.
