resolve, that, now and henceforth, when they shall review the cases in
the royal prison of this court, on the Saturdays appointed therefor,
they may release those who were arrested _por sala_, if arrested
therein by alcaldes of the court; and that, likewise, they may issue
the acts which shall seem fitting to them concerning the regulation
of criminal cases, until they are definitely concluded by sentence,
so that the cases of the said prisoners may be despatched with the
greater celerity.

By this act they so ordered, provided, and decreed.
