Of first importance LAND-LAW DOCUMENT. Jimeno: “La ley de colonizacion de 18 de Agosto de 1824 previene en su art. 4.o que no podran colonizarse los terrenos comprendidos en las 20 leguas limítrofes con cualesquiera Nacion estrangera, ni 10 litorales, sin la previa aprobacion del Supremo Poder Ejecutivo”, and the 1828 reglamento art. 17 bars colonising mission lands “hasta que se resuelva si deben considerarse como propiedad de las reducciones de los neófitos, catecúmenos y pobladores Mejicanos”. He argues “Ningun terreno baldio de este departam.to se podia colonizar... porque todo es litoral, y la mayor parte... se reconocia por de las misiones”, that no grants were made until 1834, and asks the Junta to petition the Supremo Gobierno for blanket approval of every grant made in the department. Two propositions follow (exposición to the Supreme Government; Governor to send a noticia circunstanciada of all grants). Spans n95-n97. Marginal tick is “o”.
