(volume-survey find 11) Petition of the San José vecinos opposing the expulsion of the Spanish missionary friars: after long reflection they cannot silence the pueblo's discontent at the 20 March 1829 decree expelling all Spaniards incl. priests; without their pastors they would be left 'como gentiles… abejas errantes, hijos huérfanos,' deprived of spiritual succor at the hour of death — they beg the Supreme Govt to except the Spanish missionary ministers from the general law; the Ayuntamiento pleads in the name of the whole pueblo, 'leales hijos de la Iglesia'
