In English | Letter from Juan Nepomuceno Fernández San Miguel to Luis de Sosa. The author admits he has not been able to attend the Patriotic Junta in Asturias and he elaborates on the efforts that must still be done in order to convince the people from Asturias to join the patriotic cause. He hopes this will happen soon due to the less educated ones instruction. This litigation against Colonel Luis de Sosa for statements made by the defendant in several publications, was issued by Public Security Minister Pedro Agustín de Echevarri after a denunciation made by Leon´s bishop Ignacio Ramón de Roda. In the aforementioned statements, the defendant cast doubt on the King´s sovereignty and expressed his sympathy for the constitutional regime of 1812. Sosa was made prisoner, his properties were seized and all the documents found in his house were confiscated, among which the letters provided to the proceeding documentation. In his own defence, Luis de Sosa argued his military merits as a colonel of Leon during the Independence War and the public documents in which he praised Fernando VII. Furthermore, he argued being always respectful of the current legitimacy. He qualified that ever since the abolition of the Constitution, he never showed disagreement with the King, given that he considered himself as a loyal subject. Once the letters, the declarations and the rest of the documents were examined, Luis de Sosa was acquitted since there was not enough proof of his membership to the liberal party. |
