Dispute over the aduana terrestre. When he handed the maritime customhouse to Ángel Ramírez he also prepared the land-customs papers, 'pero Ramirez se escusó de recibirlos alegando que no habia órden, decreto ni ley que mandase que el Admor de la Aduana marít.a debia serlo de la terrestre'. Replies: 'pero hago yo la misma pregunta que él, y creo nos hallamos en igualdad de circunstancias', except that Ramírez's office has staff enough and his does not, 'razon por qué no pudiendo consagrar su atencion á este ramo, el Erario perderá quizá 2/3 partes de los derechos que legitim.te le pertenecen'. Asks the Comand.te Gen. to decide, since neither man claims the investiture. Spans n497-n498.
