A later Zacatecas reimpression of a Spanish law regulating the behavior of magistrates, judges, and other public servants. The pamphlet is concerned primarily with the first two categories, and prints thirty-three numbered points concerning their various responsibilities. The general category of "other" comprises seventeen points. The timing of the printing and reprinting is interesting. The law was first promulgated at Cadiz in 1813, but not printed in Zacatecas until 1824, meaning that Mexican independence occurred during the intervening years. Nevertheless, the Zacatecan state government clearly thought that these laws sufficed, as they ordered it reprinted "for its proper understanding and circulation throughout the state." A rather odd piece of government printing, and apparently unrecorded; not in OCLC.
