Summary
Virrey orders investigation of complaints of fray Garcia concerning conquest of new colony; Cornide is placed in charge of collecting declarations, asks six questions concerning abuses of Escandon. For example, was Escandon successful in his commission, did Escandon drive off rather than pacify Indians, did Escandon withhold salaries, was Escandon nepotistic, why has Escandon become so rich in the wake of the conquest, did Escandon do anything right in the conquest?
