petition to restore his citizenship rights — deposed/jailed/marched to San Gabriel in irons as LA alcalde after the 6 Dec 1831 revolt against Gov. Manuel Victoria, persecuted by the victorious José Mª Echeandía faction (forced $100 repayment; a trivial 'robbery of 2 chests' = a family prank; a gambling charge). OUTCOME: judge Castillo Negrete finds the case rooted in *'el intruso Gefe Político'* Echeandía's illegitimate authority ('indudablemⁿ vicioso'), Sánchez jailed & fined without charges or a hearing; ex-asesor Rafael Gómez confirms he'd ruled the 1831 *sumaria* null; Figueroa restores Sánchez to full 'ciudadano Mejicano' rights (may vote & be elected) — *expandable*
