oath in due legal form, that they will make the said collection,
taking it for themselves alone, without granting any part to the
said alcaldes-mayor. The latter shall not collect the tribute under
penalty of deprivation of their offices. The said collectors shall
deliver in kind to the royal exchequer the tributes that they shall
collect from the said natives, unless the said officials shall order
otherwise, for the augmentation of the royal exchequer. And in order
that the collectors sent may be fit and proper persons, it is ordered
that those appointed to the office by the said royal officials shall
present themselves before this royal Audiencia, in order that they
may be there approved. The said royal officials shall cause this to be
done, under a penalty of a third part of their salary for that year,
which must be paid immediately upon conviction of disobedience to
this decree. The said collectors shall be vested with the authority
of justice. By this act it was so declared, ordered, and decreed.
