Fuero-militar jurisdictional clash: the Sta Bárbara Juez de Paz imprisoned a *criado* of Comte

Departmental State Papers, tomo IV · BANC MSS C-A 29, document 339

Fuero-militar jurisdictional clash: the Sta Bárbara Juez de Paz imprisoned a *criado* of Comte. de la Guerra, and after the 3 days the law allows a foreign jurisdiction he refused to surrender the prisoner to the military — 'insistió en llevar al cabo su providencia… ultrajando así el fuero divino de la milicia; fuero privilegiado que las leyes respetan… en todos los países del mundo.' Vallejo, 'el juzgado Militar de primera instancia,' to avoid 'competencias nacidas de la ignorancia que son siempre el origen de la conflagración peligrosa de los pueblos,' demands the govt make the Juez 'entender… el error que cometió y que se abstenga en adelante de promover competencias con aquella comandancia militar.' ⚠ marginal: 'Agosto 10 de 1839. Se contestó transcribiendo el ofº. del Comte. de Sta Bárba.'
