"In December 1851 authorities from Manti, Utah, arrested eight 'Spanish' traders from New Mexico, including their leader, Pedro Leon, and eventually brought them to trial in the First Judicial Court of Utah Territory in Great Salt Lake City. They were accused of violating the Trade and Intercourse Act of 1834, having allegedly traded without a license with the Ute Indians for nine Indian captives. They were found guilty, fined, and, despite appeals and counter suits, eventually returned, disgruntled, to New Mexico where they continued their appeals as high as the commissioner of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C."
