and that, in addition, they shall pay the damages, interests, and
costs to the party or parties detained for this cause.

our president, under penalty of losing salary for the time while
they were absent, and a fine of twelve pesos for the said court-room,
for every instance of violation of this ordinance.

303. _Item_: We command that when they shall be occupied with suits
or matters outside of the place where our said Audiencia shall sit,
they shall accept nothing from the parties, directly or indirectly,
beyond the fee assigned them. They shall make no bargains or agreements
with the Indians, or partnerships, in any manner--under penalty
of repaying sevenfold that which they thus accept and bargain for,
and of perpetual discharge from office.

304. _Item_: For each day when any one of the said interpreters shall
go out on commission and by order of our said Audiencia, from the

else from the parties, directly or indirectly, under the penalty of
being obliged to repay it sevenfold to our exchequer.

305. _Item_: For each witness examined, if the interrogatory is of
more than twelve questions, they shall receive two tomins; if the
interrogatory is of less than twelve questions, one tomin, and no
more, under penalty of paying fourfold to our exchequer. But if the
interrogatory shall be long and the case laborious, the auditor before
whom the examination is conducted may assess, in addition to the other
fees, a moderate sum proportionate to the labor and time consumed.
