SESSION ACTA Heading verbatim: '[NO HEADING ON ANY LEAF READ. This acta is already in progress at n134 and runs to its close on n138. I inspected the top strip of every leaf n120–n130 and read n131–n138 in full: no dated heading appears, so this session's heading lies further upstream, inside band d6's span (n108–n134). What IS verbatim on n138 is the acta's close: 'accedió á este pedimento y en seguida se levantó la sesión. = Juan B. Alvarado' followed by the centred cite 'pp. 113-17'.]' [= Close of an unheaded June 1834 session of the Territorial Deputation, signed by the secretary Juan B. Alvarado.] Four leaves of a long session on the Deputation's own establishment and finances. n133 (context): the commission redrafts its article, Art. 1 exonerating 'Dn Juan B. Alvarado del empleo de Srio. de la Diputacion Territorial que ha servido', he to continue only until his successor appears; approved unanimously. Art. 2 declares legal the sums owed him, 'un mil ciento setenta y nueve pesos cinco reales', recommending prompt payment; Carrillo (D.J.A.) objects that the account is not sufficiently justified because it was drawn up by the interested party himself; Carrillo (D.C.) defends it as founded on the corporation's own acuerdos. n134–n135: the President answers that the account is a relacion of the secretary's asignaciones with certifications and of what the sindicos of some points have paid in, but that this is not the corporation's business, being proper to the officer of the contaduria the Deputation is by law to have; asks the matter go back to commission until the Tesoreria is systematised. Art. 2 is voted and TOTALLY REJECTED, only Carrillo (D.C.) and Estudillo voting for it. Art. 3 (that the secretary cease in the commission of contador de propios y arbitrios given him 16 July 1830) is debated: Castro argues a later law creating a Contaduria General de propios in Mexico City repeals the one under which he was named; approved. The President then carries an added article directing the Gefe Politico, when notifying the secretary of his separation, to give him the corporation's thanks 'por la honradez, desinteres y exactitud con que ha desempeñado sus funciones'. n136–n137: a proyecto de reglamento (the Deputation's rules of procedure) is taken up, admitted in general; Art. 1 (deputies to reach the Territorial capital on 1 June, swear before the Gefe Politico, the Deputation then declared installed) draws the President's objection that the commission had art. 334 of the Spanish Constitution in mind and that in his view the Deputation should exist all year with its sessions permanently open; Carrillo (D.J.A.) replies the Constitution was sanctioned in March so a June installation was impossible and the rule should be prospective. The commission withdraws Art. 1, then Art. 2, then the whole project, offering to present it at the next session, and the session rises.
