without placing at the end of them the fees they have paid; therefore,
in order to remedy the aforesaid evil, and to put an end to complaints
of similar acts of injustice, they ordered, and they did so order, both
the officials of this royal Audiencia and the others in the provincial
and the ordinary tribunals, and those outside of this city, now and
henceforth, not to bring or send any suit to be reviewed in the court
of this royal Audiencia, unaccompanied by a memorandum, signed and
sworn to by the parties to the suit, of what they have spent thereon,
and to what persons they have given the money; and not to bring any
suit for revision in any other manner, under penalty of a fine, for
each time when they shall disobey this order, of ten pesos for his
Majesty's treasury, to be equally divided between the treasury and the
court--to which, from that moment, they are considered as condemned. By
this act they so provided and ordered, and they signed the same.
