Notes and Documents
that he has neither forfeited the privileges of his rank as lieutenant
colonel nor has Captain Don Manuel Pardo attained those same
privileges; adding that in his desire to avoid controversy he has not
previously reported this case of contempt, but in order to avoid future
altercations, some clarification of authority will be necessary
No. 242 B6xar, April 25, 1818
Stating that Don Jose Antonio de la Garza has made an official com-
plaint about difficulties in rebranding his stock since most of his herd
has gone into the pasture of Don Ygnacio Prez who will not allow
them to be removed; that when a search of the archives failed to reveal
any document to guide him he referred the case to the alcaldes for an
opinion which might be transmitted to the commandant general, but
in compliance with the recent order the file would be transmitted at
once without awaiting the judge's opinion
Explaining that Captain Ygnacio Pdrez has been shown every con-
sideration and has no right to complain of his treatment in this affair
Reporting that he has approved the Baron de Bastrop's election as
2nd alcalde by the last ayuntamiento because of his special ability
and creditable conduct; that the Baron has resided in the city for
thirteen years and has rendered noteworthy service to the country;
and that due to the limited number of vecinos who can discharge the
duties of a judge, there is little choice to be made in an election
Reporting that there is also a scarcity of skillful writers in the
community and, therefore, he has had to rely on the services of Don
Erasmo Seguin as a scribe even though the commandant general
regards him as a suspicious character
No. 243 Bexar, April 25, 1818
Stating that a previous report related the observations made by
Corporal Antonio de Le6n on his expedition and the reasons he gave
for turning back; that Captain Hoyoso and some of the Tancahuas
arrived with Vicente Gortari, the district commissioner, and reported
that they located the rancheria but found no tracks leading in or out
of the place; and that a careful investigation would be made because
the corporal must have given false information to conceal his failure
to execute his commission
Reporting that, according to Gortari, the Tancahuas are on peace-
ful terms and have no captives; that Captain Cardena, whom he [the
governor] considers the worst, will make a visit at the end of the
month; and requesting that some trinkets be provided for the Indians
since there is nothing on hand to serve as the simplest gift
No. 244 [Bexar] April 25, 1818
Transmitting the petition of the captain of the company of San
Carlos de Parras for an increase in salary
