If any quantity whatever of Chinese stuffs be found in any boat sailing

from Nueva España to Perú or in the opposite direction, the inspector,

royal officials, and the other persons who take part in the register

and inspection shall be considered as perpetrators and offenders in

this crime; so that, taking example from them, others may abstain from

similar transgressions. The captains, masters, boatswains, and other

officers whose duties extend to the management of vessels, shall also

be considered as offenders and accomplices. [Felipe III--Valladolid,
