But as God would, in the meane season came the testimoniall from the Doctor _Hoieda_, and the Licenciat _Pero Lopez_, Phisitions, who had cured the persons that were reported to haue bene poysoned, whervpon that commission ceased. And when _Cortes_ came into Spayne, _Don Pedro de la Cueua_ would many times laugh and iest with him, saying, From farre places long lies. [Sidenote: Before the Iudges came, Cortez vvas gone to Spayne.] The Emperour and his councell of _India_ prouided a Courte of Chancery in _Mexico_, as chiefe place, where as all controuersies and matters of righte throughout the new _Spayne_ mighte there be determined, and also to correct the mutinies, and partes taking among the Spanyardes: likewise to take residence and accompte of _Cortes_, and to be satisfyed both of his seruice and offences. Moreouer that they should visite the officers, and royall Treasorie there. _Munio de Gusman_ was appoynted president and gouernoure, with other foure Licenciates for Iudges to accompany him. He departed toward _Mexico_ Anno 1529. and at his comming, he began to vnderstande in his regimente and office, with the Licenciate _Iohn Ortiz_, for the other thrée Iudges died by the way. _Cortes_ béeing nowe absente, and vppon his iourney toward _Spayne_, this newe Iudge made a terrible residence and condemnation againste him, and commaunded all his goodes to be solde by out-thrappe, for a greate deale lesse then hys goodes were worth, and in his absence they called him by Proclamation: but if he hadde bin there present, his life had bin in daunger, although face to face some respect is had, and it is an ordinarie rule that the Iudge sheweth rigoure against him that is absent. This hatred was not only against _Cortes_, but also againste his friendes, for hée apprehended _Pedro de Aluarado_, who was newly come from _Spayne_, bycause he spake in the fauour of _Cortez_, laying to his charge the rebellion of _Mexico_, when _Naruaez_ was there. He also apprehended _Alonso de Estrada_, & manye others, doing manifest wrongs vnto them. [Sidenote: A good sentence.]
