Sumario:In October 1793, Clara Pando introduced an appeal for protection (Habeas Corpus) before the Real Audiencia of Chile (Spanish Colonial Justice Court). The reason: her daughter was kidnapped and locked up by order of the Bishop Blas y Minayo, supported by the guards of Governor Ambrosio O’Higgins. Because of the judges’ neglective attitude, the Consejo de Indias (Highest Spanish Colonial Authority) put together a file of more than one thousand pages, which allow us -besides from knowing how some aspects of the "regalismo" (Arrangement that granted some ecclesiastical privileges in favor of the Crown) operated in this part of the Spanish Empire− to give a glance to the particular conflicts that arose due to disagreements related to affection and power between men and women, which did not spare passions and feelings when it comes to vital decisions. At the same time, despite that lawsuit involved reknown persons of the Chilean colonial society, we propose a different approach for the analysis of the words and sensibilities contained in a trial that ends in November 1797, which certified the reconciliation of a troubled marriage: that of Manuela Rebolledo and Joaquín Toesca.
