The governor complains of the confusion caused by the considerable number of strayed animals, and the frequent abuses that occur, involving theft, false claims of ownership, and illegal trade in such animals. He issues an order delineating a new regulation governing the disposition of such animals and the penalty for its infraction (four years of exile to the province of Zuni). And, requires that the Alcaldes mayores of the various towns and settlements publish the order publicly, in both Spanish and Indian languages. (Lloyd Kendall) (1980)
