Duralde, Martin

Demand of Martin Duraldy that Father Pedro Zamora pay him for the wood he took on his land.

--------
1801 May 19

Duralde, Martin
New Orleans, (Louisiana)

to Bishop (Luis Penalver y Cardenas)
(New Orleans, (Louisiana)

Duralde, commandant of Opelousas, appears and explains that Zamora, pastor, felled quite a few oaks on Duralde's land and took away about 5000 poles to fence his field. Duralde demanded compensation as shown in the attached letter and received his attached reply that he could attack him whenever he liked. He confirmed (some points) with Juan Bentura Morales about the regulations. That part of his land has been occupied for around 30 years. He asks (Penalver) to request Zamora to pay him in the most equitable way.

Duralde, Martin
Opelousas, (Louisiana)

to Father Pedro Zamora

Copy (Spanish)

1801 Mar. 20

Zamora, Father Pedro de
Opelousas, (Louisiana)

to Martin Duralde
(Opelousas, Louisiana)

If Duralde had reflected on the rules for land Intendant Morales read publicly at the door of the church on August 15, 1788, and that the land on which Zamora cut the poles was not staked out nor marked before the 16th and 17th of this month, Duralde would not have threatened Zamora as he did in his letter of the 18th. Upon reflection if Duralde wishes to attack Zamora, he can whenever he likes.

Copy (Spanish)

--------
1801 May 22

(Penalver y Cardenas), Bishop (Luis)
New Orleans, Louisiana

(The above) are to be given to Assessor Manuel Serrano so that he can inform (Penalver) about the rules for lands.

D.S. (Spanish)

--------
1801 May 23

Serrano, Man(ue)l
New Orleans, Louisiana

Article 18 of the ordinances states that holders of land who do not have a formal title cannot be considered owners of that land. Therefore Duralde will not bring action against Zamora for the trees as they are judged as property of the king.

A.D.S. (Spanish)

--------
