Given that, when causing the said damages […] while collecting firewood, they [the infractors] agree to leave the cattle they bring […] outside the districts and jurisdiction of the village since they know that, in this way, their cattle can not be seized since it is in an alien jurisdiction, and, then, the infractors, when they fear to be imprisoned, just run away and, when they do not fear it, they show resistence and violence threatening with axes, shotguns and other arms […]; it s allowed to catch and bring to this village from outside districts any small or great cattle […] of the infractors;  and the seizure and denunciation of the infractors can be done by the guard or guard jurys [´guarda jurados´] of this village or by any of the neighbours and dwellers as long as they were old enough to swear on oath, and with seeing [the infractors commiting the infraction] shall suffice [in order to seize and denounce them].
