Last year I wrote how this royal Audiencia was founded, and sent an
account of the reception of the royal seal; and how there were in the
Audiencia three auditors, Doctor Antonio de Morga, the licentiate
Telles Almasan, and the licentiate Alvaro Çanbrano, the licentiate
Salasar as fiscal, the licentiate Padilla as reporter, and a clerk
of court; and how the licentiate Don Antonio de Ribera Maldonado,
the first auditor, had remained in España.
12. _Death of the licentiate Çambrano on the fourteenth of March;
and in his place is proposed the name of the licentiate Salasar,
fiscal of this royal Audiencia, and for the office of fiscal the
licentiate Padilla, reporter._
On the fourteenth of March of 98 the licentiate Çambrano died,
from an attack of malignant fever. In him your Majesty lost a good
servant. Since his place must be filled, it will be well provided
for in the person of the licentiate Salasar, your fiscal in this
royal Audiencia, a person who, besides his broad and deep learning,
is worthy of whatever favor your Majesty may see fit to grant him;
and the office of fiscal will be well filled by the licentiate Padilla,
reporter of this royal Audiencia, who is a man of learning and justice,
and is diligent in your Majesty's service.
