The document prepared in 1872 by Don Manuel Silvela is a presentation to the King of the case of Don Antonio Ma. Regidor when he’s been implicated in the Cavite Mutiny of 1872. Antonio Ma. J. Regidor (April 16, 1845-December 28, 1910) was a Spanish lawyer who devoted his life supporting the causes of the Secularization and Reforms Movements. A critical event in his life happened when his name was dragged as one of those actively involved in initiating the mutiny. Accused as an agitator and supporter of the mutineers, Regidor was arrested and sentenced to eight years of exile in the Marianas Islands. While in exile, he was able to escape by disguising himself as a priest. From Agana, he went to Yap Islands and transferred to another boat bound to Solomon and Palau Islands. He later boarded a British ship bound for Hong Kong. He continued his journey going to Marseilles. When he reached Paris, Regidor presented himself to the Spanish Consul and in April 1876, he was pardoned.
