Summary

is article exposes the multiple deciencies existing in the administration of justice in

Cuba during the 19th century. e author distinguishes the structural deciencies from the

merely subjective ones, although without ignoring the relationship between them. In the

former it includes those that have to do with the organization of the judicial system, current

legislation and the position of the crown in this regard. Among the latter are corruption

in the forum, malicious activity by lawyers and public ocials, disobedience to the laws,

among others.

Keywords

Administration of justice, Cuba, XIX century, lawyers, judges.

“Las consecuencias de este orden de cosas no podían menos de ser tan fatales como la

causa, y por esto hemos visto asesinar a abogados, dar trabucazos a gobernadores, puñaladas

a oidores. Porque el hombre que se ve arruinado, el que se ve atropellado, y por último al que

lastiman en lo más delicado del honor, si no encuentran justicia, se la toma por la mano”.
