_An act decreeing that, on account of the end and death of the
licentiate Albaro Çambrano (whom may God keep!), the licentiate
Tellez Almaçan is to continue, close, and complete the accounts of
the royal exchequer._

In the city of Manila, on the sixteenth of March, one thousand five
hundred and ninety-nine, the president and auditors of the royal
Audiencia and Chancillería of the Philipinas Islands declared that,
whereas the licentiate Albaro Çambrano, late auditor of this royal
Audiencia (whom may God have in His holy glory!), to whom was assigned
the auditing of the accounts of his Majesty's royal exchequer--which
are at present being audited by the royal judicial officials--is now
dead and passed from this present life: therefore, in order that on
this account the auditing may not be delayed and fail of prosecution,
as is fitting, and as the king our sovereign commands in his royal
ordinance, in place of the licentiate Albaro Çambrano they appointed,
and they did so appoint, the licentiate Tellez de Almaçan, auditor
of this royal Audiencia, to continue, close, and finish the said
auditing, according to the commission given to the said licentiate
Albaro Çambrano, for which they gave him commission in legal form. By
this act, they so voted, ordered, and decreed.
