Summary
The title of this collection is very misleading. The documents actually concern a case involving a mulato slave who is Charged with intimidating his master with two swords. The slave argues through his defender that his purpose in holding the weapons was completely innocent; nevertheless, he is convicted to suffer public humiliation and two hundred lashes administered by an Indian named Mateo. One can speculate whether he would have survived the ordeal; but actually he was rescued by a priest during the course of the punishment and given refuge in the church. (C. Needham) (1975)
