January 28, Petition from some of the settlers of Alburquerque asking that he be appointed alcalde and not war-captain. They were reprimanded by the governor and sentenced to imprisonment for slander. 4f Governor Mendinueta and Navarro were intimate friends. When the governor retired from office ten years later he left the command in Navarro as acting governor and gave him specific instructions relative to the policy which should be pursued in dealing with the Indian tribes. A copy of this letter to Navarro, once in the Santa Fe archives, is now in the Pinart Collection, to which H. H. Bancroft had access. Any person fairly acquainted with the physical appearance of the old manuscripts and documents once deposited among the archives at Santa Fe, can determine at a glance whether those now found in ‘‘collections’’ all over the country were ever deposited at Santa Fe. It is safe to assert that nearly every one in these collections was either abstracted from those at Santa Fe, or purchased from persons in New Mexico who, subsequent to the administration of Governor R. B. Mitchell, were making similar ‘‘collections.’’ The Pinart ‘‘collection’’ is noticeable in this respect. These archives are so easily identified that no mistake is made in asserting that every one of them belongs in the collection in the Library of Congress. INDIANS, GENiZAROS. April 9-30, 1768. Criminal proceedings in which these Indians from Carnue were charged with stealing cattle. They were found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment. 21f + +8 Uae tk tp talk et ae [oe ee +o, + % el Pee ee ee ee orien ee ek ted atl : Ce) La * . - Order relative to bands on cigars.
