The audiencia also had jurisdiction over the residencias of galleon officials. These had to submit to residencia at the termination of each voyage. An oidor was designated by the governor for the inspection of the ship, for the examination of its papers, for the consideration of complaints against the officers of ill-treatment of passengers and crews during the voyage. [291] An investigation was conducted on the occasion of the loss of a ship. Then a thorough inquiry was made in an endeavor to discover negligence on the part of the admiral, general, or other officials. The exercise of a similar authority over cases involving the loss of galleons has been discussed in the preceding chapter. In pursuance of this authority, Magistrate Torralba was commissioned in 1710 to take the residencia of the officers of the galleon "Nuestra Señora del Rosario y San Vicente Ferrer", which was wrecked in the Straits of San Bernardino on the voyage from Acapulco in 1709. [292] As great diligence had been shown by them in landing the treasure and sending it overland, the matter was dropped. A similar investigation was conducted in 1743 in the case of the galleon "Cobadonga", which was captured by the British. The charge was made that neither the "Cobadonga" nor her convoy, "El Pilar", had offered any resistance, and that the latter had deserted the galleon and had taken refuge in flight. [293] The officers were arrested and thrown into prison on charges brought by the fiscal, but they were cleared in the investigation which proved that the ships were not in a condition to fight.
