República de la Nueva Granada - Jefatura política - Bogotá 2 de marzo de 1842

Abstract

The image contains news about a communication addressed to Mr. Governor, in which he expresses the legal reasons why the political leadership cannot comply with a judicial order that allows the prisoner Mr. Judas Taden Landinez to leave prison to fix some lists at another individual's house. It is mentioned that the police law attributes responsibility for the security and regime of prisons to the government, leaving judges the power to decide on the communication of prisoners. In addition, it is noted that the house where the procedure would be carried out is under the protection of another country and cannot be raided without the corresponding permission, which could compromise the safety of the prisoner. The sender transcribes the communication for the knowledge of the recipient and requests its publication to avoid unfair criticism of the political leadership.
