Dated and signed on p. 20: Habana 4 de agosto de 1813. José Ilincheta.

Ilincheta, was a Spanish lawyer and an advisor of the Captain General Of Cuba, who had been a government official and close advisor to the Marqués de Someruelos, during the latter's government as Captain General of Cuba from 1799 to 1812. In this pamphlet he defends himself against accusations by his enemies. In 1810 he had been made oidor of the Audiencia of Guadalajara in Mexico, When the Marqués de Someruelos stepped down from his office, the ensuing juicio de residencia that encompassed all major officials of his administration was used by his enemies to raise a number of serious charges against Ilincheta. Ilincheta here reproduces the document dated July 30, 1813 which he sent in his defence. In support of his case he describes some of his investigations, one of them that of the murder of a plantation owner by his slaves.
