Asunto de Man.l Ant.o — the 'imaginary ayuntamiento' of Mission S. Gabriel: 'p.r reclamo del Ayuntam.to Imaginario de la Mis.n de S.n Gab.l hecho al del Pto. de N.S. de los Ang.s... no se me escapa... el q.e medie alg.a sugestion, p.s amas de no saber, ni tener entendido haya, ni pueda haber tal Ayuntam.to en la espresada Mis.n de S.n Gab.l, p.r q.e ning.a de ellas lo tiene, y si lo tuviesen... desde luego sin mi aprobac.n... Al Ind.o Man.l Ant.o, puede V. entregarlo al Trib.l Ecco. p.a q.e lo juzgue en cuanto le sea comprehensivo, con inhibic.n total del conocim.to del Ayuntam.to del Pueblo de los Angeles, p.o V. con 2 ó 3 testigos, le tomará declarac.n ántes... en virtud de haberse acojido á lo Militar.' A self-styled Indian ayuntamiento at Mission S. Gabriel pressed a claim on the Los Angeles ayuntamiento; Argüello rules no mission has or can have an ayuntamiento without his approval, and remands the Indian Manuel Antonio to the ecclesiastical tribunal, wholly inhibiting the LA ayuntamiento — after Ruiz takes his declaration before 2-3 witnesses.
