respect, and were intended 70 cover a sne Propery
on the Isthmus between sen'osa anc Minaus.an'
The order At the same nme appointed a. - Ailen
receiver, and directed Ina. ne snouio Keep tae eoous
and audit the accounts OF creaitors. Inc 1uoge OF
First Instance well knew tnas tne properly on tne
Isthmus would cover the claims against the company
four times over, even II sold at public sale ana
he gave TINS comprehensive order snas the anair
might be terminated with as little arrangement 70
the company as possible, but with security tnas tne
property should be forthcoming 10 satisiy the JUST
claims OF creditors.
The writ Of seizure was not sent up the river to Mr.
Side as Mr.. Aliens attorney, to have 1t enforced IN
the districts OF Juchitan and Tehuantepec against
the property OF the company OUTSIDE OF tns dstfcts
The design was to keep the property together under
the Company's agents, that the line might COZ
inue in working order and that no useless expenses
might be incurred by the appointment OF receivers at
other points.
How Mr.. Sidell performed his part ct the work, l
am not posted, but know that he has written long
remonsrance to the Minister in Vera Cruz in which
he sets forth that tie Judge OF Tehuantepec has acted
very badly about the matter them first in refusing to
accept the embargo Of Mr. Allen, and secondly, IN
granting other embargoes and seizing property for
small debts which would pay an hundred such de-
mands. In Juchitan particularly is this the case
when the Judge for small claim OF $l50O has seized
property valued at $4,000 and winch ne claims 70
hold until the above sum is paid. This last seizure
completely deprives the company OF its coaches and
animals and therefore breaks up the transit ! The
mails for the 18th inst were actually sent forward al
private expense, while this vast amount OF running
| stock was tied up. &
/ have given you In previous letters some 81 the
cases of judicial ignorance under Mexican rule but
think the ruling Of the Judge OF Tehuantepec heads
anything have vet sent You. The suit against the
company was for $500, to which was added con
tested claim for extra charges OF $500 more. Fol
this sum all the property OF the company IN tns
District Of Tehuantepec was seized, and the judge
appointed the brother Of his mistress receiver wisn
ont exacting security. The company offered as se
cury to place the amount Of the claim and the extr'
charges in the hand Of responsible merchant, ant
to leave in charge OF the receiver sufficient property
to pay III the claim and COSTS If the court would re
lease enough Of the stock and running gear TO carr
on the business Of the Transit. The otter was re
fused, and it was only by compromising the cas-
with the plaintiff that the property could be dragged
from the hands Of the court, and not then until the
stock was run down by neglect and some OF th'
animals had been stolen!
| Immedi ately, however, after the embargo wa
raised. another was laid for still less sum, and thu
same property was again put under restraint. Thit
completely paralyzed the Company, for without III
stock and coaches II could not fulfill the mail ano
transportation service Every method was adopted
arrange the difficulty, but the agent being withou
funds in Mexican community, where 1t IS lmpos
sibe to borrow on mortgage or security had to eav
the property in this condition.
Inc american CONSUL az 1nis pace, mr. a.
Allen, has written strong letter to the Judge
Juchitan on the sno]ect OF TINS embargo, ana arse
remonstrance TO the American minister on tne sun
Ject. He Is justly incensed, not that america
property should DC treated 10 TINS Irregular manner
for executions are never intended 70 over"nelm cfeo
