Alurralde ganó el juicio pese a no exhibir ningún título de propiedad de tierras, aduciendo que los papeles se le habían quemado o perdido, solo apelando a la Audiencia, un tribunal judicial en Charcas. En el juicio había sido convocado como testigo de un deslinde Gregorio Arragua, indio Chuscha, pero no se registra su presencia.

En 1805, Nicolás de Molina, un vecino de la zona y funcionario del Cabildo, deslinda la legua del pueblo de indios Chuschagasta de la estancia de la familia Martínez, porque esta denunciaba que al avanzar Alurralde sobre Chuscha, corría los límites del pueblo sobre los de su estancia, como en un efecto dominó
