These documents, perhaps of considerable interest to researchers interested in conditions of unfree labor in Nueva Viscaya, refer to the case of an Indian woman and her child who are sold at public auction for Ten years of servitude as a result of their presumed compliance in a recent uprising. A declaration of the accused is provided - taken by an illiterate interpreter and a Scribe - in which the Indian woman reveals her confession. Accussed of fleeing illegally from arrest, the the woman asserts that she was merely attempting to keep her child from being taken to Mexico. (C. Needham) (1975)

The Indians complain of bad treatment, plus the fact that the hacienda is encroaching on their land and stealing their water. The fact that Guajardo Fajardo hears the case is significant. The document is either incomplete or judgement is temporarily withheld. Especially interesting for showing manner in which the Indians appealed for aid. (T. Barnes) (1975)

An interesting document which contains testimony from witnesses who, while standing at the Door of their house, overheard conversations between two Indians concerning the uprising nearby of Indians. When, for example, the Indian Antonio was told that capitan Juan de los Reyes had been dispatched to provide help in the difficult situation, he replied, in a sarcastic manner (como burla) pobre Reyes. other remarks were made and the suspicion lingers that Antonio may also have provided material support to the rebels. (C. Needham) (1975)

An interesting case which provides some insight into cross-cultural attitudes toward marital relations. The case concerns the murder of one Indian by another, the quarrel revolving around a woman. Testimony is provided through interpreters; the sentence was death by hanging; and records of the execution order (in the public Plaza) are included. (C. Needham) (1975)
