  We show individual high resolution spectra of components A, B, and C of the
nearby late-M type multiple system LHS 1070. Component A is a mid-M star, B and
C are known to have masses at the threshold to brown dwarfs. From our spectra
we measure rotation velocities and the mean magnetic field for all three
components individually. We find magnetic flux on the order of several
kilo-Gauss in all components. The rotation velocities of the two late-M objects
B and C are similar (vsini = 16km/s), the earlier A component is spinning only
at about half that rate. This suggests weakening of net rotational braking at
late-M spectral type, and that the lack of slowly rotating late-M and L dwarfs
is real. Furthermore, we found that magnetic flux in the B component is about
twice as strong as in component C at similar rotation rate. This indicates that
rotational braking is not proportional to magnetic field strength in fully
convective objects, and that a different field topology is the reason for the
weak braking in low mass objects.
