Previously uncatalogued — recovered by the 2026-08-27 coverage audit: the document lay inside the declared span of a grouped entry covering n132-n151, which had passed every completeness check while concealing it. Heading verbatim: '+ 1841. Dic. 27. Mej. / Pavon al admor de la aduana mar.a de Mont.' [= Pavon to the administrator of the maritime customhouse of Monterey.] Encloses two copies of the decree issued by the Ministerio de Justicia y Instruccion publica dated 13 October last, ordering that all tribunals and juzgados of every class and category are obliged to state the Ley, Canon or Doctrina on which they ground their sentences. Substantively this is a judicial-reasoning mandate reaching California through the customs channel, relevant to the Alcalde Rule work: it is a direct central-government requirement that judgments be reasoned from cited law.
