Correction to this entry.

Previously read orig_page: 'p.339–349'. Leaves read: bancarchca_82_01 n340-n357 (scale=2). AUTHOR: the string is verbatim but only from n355 (Savage p.349), which reads 'Carpeta N.o 16. = Gefatura Politica de la Alta Cal.'; n342-n354 are the San Diego pronunciamiento and its adhesions, whose authors are named on the leaves ('Pto. de S.n Diego, 29 de Nov.re de 1831 = Pio Pico = Juan Bandini = José Ant.o Carrillo' on n346; 'Monterey ... 26 de Dic.e de 1831 = Antonino Buelna ... José Castro, Srio' and 'Sta Barbara 1.o de Enero de 1832 = Rafael Gonzales ...' on n354). RECIPIENT blank though the leaves give addressees ('S.r Alcalde del Pueblo de los Angeles', n355; 'S.r Com.te Gral y Gefe Polit. de la Alta Cal', n340). PLACE blank though every document is headed with one (S.n Diego, Monterey, Sta Barbara, Pueblo de los Angeles, S.n Gabriel). DATE '1831' is short: n354 carries 'Pueblo de los Angeles, En.o 7 de 1832' and n356 a certification dated 24 Feb 1832. SCAN_PIN: neither element of the summary is on n342 — n342 is mid-sentence inside the pronunciamiento, which begins on n340; both summarised documents are on n355-n356. ORIG_PAGE: the only original-tomo citation anywhere in the span is footed on n356: 'pp. 623-66.' The recorded 'p.339–349' tracks Savage's own leaf numbering (ink 338 at n342 … 350 at n356); cf. n357, where Savage's abstracts cite originals 'pp. 570-1', 'p. 572', 'p. 573'. SAVAGE_PAGE recorded '—' although every leaf is numbered (n342 = stamp 340 / ink 338; n356 = stamp 352 / ink 350). SUMMARY: clause 1 is exact — n355 reads 'He dispuesto q.e la sumaria practicada sobre la asonada en ese pueblo, del 18 de Abril ult.o se eleve á proceso y pr consiguiente q.e el final de ella reduzca á prision á los regidores Juan B. Alvarado y José Perez y otros vecinos ... Mont. 21 de Julio de 1831 = Manuel Victoria.' Clause 2 misattributes: the signatures listed are those of the AYUNTAMIENTO OF LOS ANGELES adhering on 7 Jan 1832 ('Pueblo de los Angeles, En.o 7 de 1832 = En vista del plan, este Ayunt.o se ha complacido …', n354), not of the San Diego vecindario; and the leaf's list has seven names — 'Manuel Dominguez = Nepomuceno Alvarado = José Manuel Cota = Felipe Lugo = Ignacio M.a Alvarado = Juan Ballesteros = Vicente de la Osa, Secretario' — the catalogue drops Nepomuceno Alvarado. NOTE ALSO (not a graded dimension): n350 and n351 are DUPLICATE EXPOSURES of n348 and n349 (same ink 344 and 345, same text), which is why the ink-to-leaf offset changes from n-4 to n-6 inside this span.

The originals of these records burned in the 1906 San Francisco fire. What survives is Thomas Savage’s 1870s copy, and this page describes that copy.
