custom is separated into small parties, and entered
several eating houses to obtain breakfast the de-
ceased with some others, making party After eating
dispute between him and the person keeping the
house, the latter alleging that shilling was due him.
while Durham averred that nine cents OF II was paid
The Acade then called by the Mexican to prevent
Upon this, Mi Charles Carroll Zone of party was
called to act interpreter, who stated the case to the
Alcalde the Mexican all the while denying that anything
was paid MIR d. directed Carroll to offer the Alcade the
remaining three cents which refused At the same
time Carroll ordered TO dismount Ihs ne refused
The guard which called by the Alcaide then pointed
their guns al him, men at the same TINE urging
