their opinions in his case.

49. _Item_: We command that our Audiencia, at the end of the two
months during which the two regidors appointed as inspectors of
weights and measures have served, shall receive from them an account
of their service.

50. _Item_: We command that our Audiencia shall have authority to
order the execution of the ordinances made for the provinces under
their jurisdiction, after being filed by them, and during the time
while they are being sent to us for confirmation.

51. _Item_: That an auditor every year by turns, beginning with the
most recently appointed, shall audit the accounts rendered by the
cabildo of the city where our Audiencia shall reside.

52. Further: When the president and auditors shall be about to allot
the lands, waters, watering-places for cattle, and pastures of any
town, city, or village, among the persons who are to be settled
therein, they shall do so with the counsel of the cabildos thereof,
taking into consideration that in such allotments the regidors shall
be preferred, provided they have no other allotments of arable lands
or dwelling-lots. Let such allotments be made without prejudice to the
Indians, retaining for them their arable lands, gardens, and pastures,
so that all shall be cared for.

53. _Item_: We command that our president and auditors shall appoint
no administrative or notarial official, or fill any other permanent
office, even if it be vacant by resignation; nor shall they make such
appointments in the interim before we appoint.
