This possibly important document, addressed to the king, concerns past abuses in the administration of estates in Nueva Viscaya. The document requests that, in conformity with past cedulas which extend into the 16th century, the Superior jurisdiction over the real be recognized as in the power of the presidente of the Audiencia at Guadalajara and his oidores and fiscales. Records of testaments and the administration of estates will be reviewed by a royal officer to See if criminal charges must be made. (C. Needham) (1975)
