Causa contra Vicente Sánchez; jurisdiction of alcaldes as jueces de 1a instancia. Sánchez was jailed 'por haber infringido las prohibiciones de juegos públicos', but after being fined is being prosecuted again: 'no se pueden imponer varias penas por el mismo delito'. Notes the Ayuntamiento acted 'unas veces como parte y otras como juez'; the alcalde is competent judge but 'las partes pueden recusarle con causa ó sin ella'. Urges consulting the territorial Asesor 'para no incurrir en faltas que los tribunales superiores castigan en los jueces inferiores'; authorizes bail where no corporal penalty applies; content also communicated to Sánchez. Spans n485-n487.
