Description
Summary:Manuscript copy of an order of Teodoro de Croix, commandant general of the Internal Provinces, Arispe, Sonora, June 23, 1780, clarifying article 10 of Title 14 of regulations on the presidios regarding the rights of presidial representatives. New Regulations for Presidios were printed in Mexico in 1771 and formally promulgated by King Charles III in 1772. These new regulations spelled out the requirements for staffing, equipping and supplying the presidios of the Provincias Internas (consisting of the northern states of Mexico and the present-day Southwest of the United States). This order aimed to correct a misinterpretation of an article in the regulations that imposed upon paymasters unlimited responsibility for all debts and charges contracted during their terms, which resulted in an inordinate number of bankruptcies. Cf.Handbook of Texas Online, articles on Croix, Teodoro de; New Regulations for Presidios.
