Abstract

The image contains a news item about the reply to the Governor of the Province in which it is mentioned that the public rightly complains about the multitude of vagrants begging for alms in the streets, and it is mentioned that by complying with the Law of April 6, 1816 it is possible to collect a great number of these people, especially women, in addition it is mentioned that it is impossible to house so many people in the jail without the danger of them getting sick since the jail does not have enough capacity and its infrastructure is precarious. It is also mentioned that the Political Chief should not have suspended the compliance of the order that was communicated to him about the compliance of the regulations related to this fact, stating that this person will be in charge of enforcing the right of those people who have permission to beg for alms.
