5. In case any timagua killed any chief or his child, the relatives of the deceased put the murderer to death, together with his wife and children, if they succeeded in catching him. They seized all his property, which they divided among the children of the murdered man, if he had any, and if not, among his parents, relatives, or brothers; and if he had no kindred, among those who executed the vengeance for the murder, this usually being his successor in the barangay. 6. If the murdered man was a timagua, and the murderer a chief, the latter gave to the children or heirs of the murdered man the sum of ten to twenty taes of gold; but if the murdered man had no heirs, it was divided between the judge passing sentence--who was one of the chiefs, appointed by the others of the village for the purpose--and among the said chiefs, the judge taking one half and the others the other half. Of this they gave no part to the murderer, even though he was a chief. 7. _Item_: If one timagua killed another timagua, and had nothing with which to pay the penalty--ten to twenty taes of gold--all the chiefs of the village killed him for it, if his own chief did not do this, by hanging him to a tree or _arigue_ [_i.e._, prop of a house] or piercing him with many lance-thrusts. 8. If any woman killed any man, or another woman, by poison or steel or any other way, the judgment was in conformity with the one above, with consideration for the said conditions. 9. If a brother killed a brother or an uncle, or a nephew his uncle, he did not die for it; but they took all his property away from him for the heirs of the murdered man, of which they gave no share to the murderer, even though he should be an heir. This was determined by the chief of the barangay to which the murderer and the murdered belonged, if each party were of his barangay. The chiefs of the barangay were judges, and shared with the heirs of the deceased. 10. Concerning the murder of a child by a father, or a father by a child, no precise information could be secured regarding the punishment, because all asserted that they never remembered such a murder to have happened. 11. In case of the burning of any village or crops, if the incendiary was a chief, he paid for all the damage caused by the fire--which the chiefs of such town and those nearest it determined--according to the amount of the damage, even though they did not leave the chief who set the fire one mais of gold. If the damage did not exceed his property, and he had some property left over, he retained it. If the incendiary were a timagua, he was executed, and his goods were seized to repair the damage. If these did not suffice to pay for it, they sold his wife and children as slaves, to pay for the said damage.
