divorce/separation suit — Encarnación Alcívar vs. her husband Sgt Andrés Cervantes (artillery): dagger-threat, drunken abuse, no support. A conciliation act (arbiters *hombres buenos*: Zamorano for her, W. Hartnell for him) failed — she refused to reconcile; pregnant, she sought a *casa de depósito* at her mother's house + costs on Cervantes. Castillo Negrete's opinion: true divorce belongs to the ecclesiastical judge (the missionary-vicar, for want of a military chaplain), but secular courts may penalize a *'marido cruel'*; orders the couple to reunite, Cervantes to post a peace bond + up to a month's arrest for the prohibited dagger.
