j ai un document sur les Maltais en espagne : voici une mention d un ABELA :
Examples of the condemnation
of what was considered undesirable behaviour amongst the austere Maltese are as
abundant as those reflecting the more positive quality of mutual support. In 1797, in a case involving Francesco
Abela and Clemente Grima, several Maltese merchants operating from Orihuela
claimed that, 'the above mentioned Grima's behaviour as a partner was bad.
He failed to carry out the instructions of the said Abela who was the senior
partner whom he continually disobeyed and upset in everyone's presence and had
no consideration for the interests of the partnership. So much so that the same
Grima bought smuggled tobacco which on showing it to us was warned on the risk
he ran of ruining himself, his partner and the capitalists in Malta'' .116
