Summary
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)
