heavier fines for more important ones; damages to the party injured;
compensation to the exchequer; a fourfold fine to the exchequer for
wrongful fees; suspension or removal from office. The most important
section is the following:]

131. The clerks and relators of the said Audiencia, in cases civil
and criminal, shall receive the fees belonging to them, in conformity
with the fee-list; and that this may be attended to and fulfilled
accordingly, we command that henceforth the aforesaid and each of
them shall enter on the record and documents in the case the fees
that they are to receive from the parties, or from their attorneys or
agents, both for the examination of the record of proceedings and the
rest, stating specifically the amount that they are to receive and
the items of charge. This they shall attest with their signatures,
jointly with the party in interest, or his attorney or agent, who
is to pay the said fees, in such manner that both shall attest that
which they are thus to receive for the said record of proceedings and
pleadings. If he who pays the said fees shall not be able to sign his
name, let another sign for him. When the case or affair is finished,
the said clerk or relator, and the party, or his attorney or agent,
shall swear that they have not accepted or given more fees for that
case or affair than that which is there entered and signed; and that,
if they shall accept or give more, they will enter and sign it as has
been said. The penalty of the first offense is a requirement to repay
fourfold to our exchequer that which is taken otherwise than as herein
ordained; for the second, the same penalty and dismissal from office;
and if the party or the attorney shall give information that he has
given moneys to the said clerk, and they shall not be endorsed as
aforesaid, let him be believed on his oath as to the amount that he
shall have given.
