Law II

The licenses that the governor of Filipinas shall issue so that some

Sangley Chinese may remain in the islands, shall be with the consent of

our royal officials, and account shall be rendered of all. The money

resulting therefrom (eight pesos for each license) shall be placed in

our royal treasury. A separate book shall be kept there, and names

and marks [of identification?] shall be entered in it distinctly,

so that there may be no concealment. [37] [Felipe III--Madrid,
