California War Policy and Local Crime Reports
The issue discusses wartime confiscation of enemy property and government authority, citing law of nations and potential compensation after hostilities. It also records a store robbery by two Indians, Juan José and another, with one sentenced to a year’s imprisonment and labor, and part of the stolen goods recovered. The piece closes with a call to growers to plant grain now, improve sowing times, and prep for an expected influx of emigrants needing provisions.
