Heading '1833 Nov. 18 Monterey / Figueroa — Bando sobre robos de ganados.' Spans n74-n76. 'Para evitar los frecuentes robos de caballada que hacen los indios gentiles y destruir las causas que lo motivan' a monthly expedition is to leave every presidio to sweep the places where the thieves shelter, mounted with horses supplied by the missions and the vecindario. The commander is to recover unbranded caballada and restore it; to warn hunters, 'si son estrangeros les haga saber les está prohibida la caza y si mejicanos ó naturalizados que no pueden hacerla sin permiso de este Gobierno'; 'que los ganados que se encuentren en los Tulares y desiertos se reputaran por robados', their holders judged as thieves and answerable for the damage the gentiles do at their inducement; trade is free only in 'los pueblos civilizados, pero de ninguna manera entre los gentiles', clandestine traders and offending hunters to be treated as contrabandistas with goods embargoed; 'que á los indígenas se les trate con amor y caridad haciéndoles saber que cometen un delito en salir á robar ganados', offenders to be brought by force to the presidios; all are bound to denounce thieves, concealers punished. Alcaldes, comandantes militares, rancho and hacienda owners and their mayordomos to pursue stock-thieves and deliver them to the competent judge for prompt exemplary sentence.
