The Coming of Justice to California (San Francisco, John
Howell-Books, 1963), contains five documents translated from
Spanish by Adelaide Smithers and edited by John Galvin. The
documents outline the transition from military to civil law in the
Mexican borderlands from California to Texas under both Span-
ish and Mexican rule. Included are the "Rules and Regulations
for the Presidios on the Frontier Line of New Spain, Ordered by
King Carlos III in a Decree of September io, 1772"; a "Speech
of Carlos Antonio Carrillo in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies,
Requesting Adequate Courts for the Administration of Justice
in Alta California, 1831"; the "Decree of President Santa Anna
of Mexico, May 22, 1834, Establishing Circuit Tribunals and
District Courts"; and two appendices: "Select Articles of a De-
cree of the Spanish Cortes, of October g, 1812, concerning the
Constitutional Magistrates of the Towns" and "Articles of the
Mexican Law of May 2o, 1826, concerning Circuit Courts and
District Judges." ALwYN BARR38
