and said persons and canons, answering that testimony and requirement that against them gave said inhabitants of Cesuras and Zonán, on account of said magistrate's charter, said that the aforementioned charter was of obey but do not fulfil [non executive] for a number of reasons; the first one, because that deed was acquired by silencing the truth and expressing falsehood, because said García Sánchez never gave such a sentence as the inhabitants of Cesuras and Zonán say, nor it could be proven that there were a posted libel, nor a concluded lawsuit, nor a day assigned for giving the sentence, therefore that charter was non executive, nor said sentence could have any effect
