Queja contra el Alcalde [Walter] Colton: consiste en que Colton se había negado á atender un reclamo de Ginin[?] alegando que no tenía competencia á causa de que la persona contra quien se queja habíase fugado á Mazatlán, lugar enemigo respecto de Monterey; de cuya resolución protestó Ginin sosteniendo que el Alcalde no tenía jurisdicción, puesto que estaba mandado por el Gobierno de los E.U. que á los nacionales americanos residentes en México se les debía regir según las leyes del país (es decir, mexicanas) — a jurisdictional dispute over Americans in Mexican territory
