Book 7, folio 261, _et seq._ The second instance of litigation was
in the year 625, the auditor of accounts claiming that the royal
officials must deliver to him all the books, vouchers, and papers
of the treasury for which he asked; and that he could take them to
his house, without any time-limit in which they must be returned. The
royal officials claimed the very opposite to the above. Therefore, the
Audiencia decreed an act on January 2, 626, ordering the auditor of
accounts not to take the said papers from the treasury, but to audit
the said account there. The auditor of accounts (at that time Luis de
Vera Encalada) having entered a petition, the Audiencia enacted on the
twenty-seventh of the said month and year that, notwithstanding the
above-mentioned act, the said auditor of accounts, in consideration of
the ill-health that he alleges, may exercise his duties in his house;
but that he may not demand any paper by act from the royal officials
except in virtue of the act from the tribunal of accounts for this
purpose which proceeds, in which he is under obligation to ask for the
papers which shall be necessary. From those which shall be ordered
to be delivered to him, he shall select what shall be necessary,
and shall return them to the treasury in accordance with the ordinance.
Book 7, folio 344. The third instance of litigation was at that same
period, on the question whether the auditor of accounts was to audit
the accounts of private persons, who should have to account for royal
revenues, or whether he was to review those concluded by the royal
officials. The Audiencia ordered that the said auditor of accounts
should not audit accounts of that class.
Book 7, folios 77-79. After the year 628, the said tribunal of accounts
ordered by an act that the auditor of accounts could make additions to
and draw up results [_resultas_] from the accounts concluded by the
royal officials, provided he do it in a separate blankbook without
making notes in the royal books.
