allan. Mexico, July 18th. 1876, at which
place he had Just arrived, after travelling

get robbed, catch the thief with the
goods or money and hand him over to
the officers, that the thief would be locked
up until the first band of Revolutionists
came along, who would free him, and
the money and stolen articles would be
retained by the Court. that being the
last the foreigner would hear OF them.
