Order to Andrés de Cabrera, notary and receptor of the audiencia
AUTHOR/CREATOR
Luis de Velasco, Viceroy of New Spain, and the audiencia of New Spain
CREATED/PUBLISHED
Mexico: May 14, 1563
NOTES
Antonio de la Cadena, vecino of Mexico, had reported that in 1560, by commission of the audiencia, Dr. Ceynos had sent Andrés de Cabrera to establish the boundaries of a caballería of land which was in dispute between the Indians of Tacuba and Pero Ortiz, Cadena's tenant. Cabrera, in the presence of Melchor Vázquez, alcalde of Tacuba, and Gerónimo del Aguila, and three regidores and other headmen, had established the boundaries without any contradiction from the Indians. Now the Indians of Tacuba are bothering Cadena about the possession of the land, and Cadena has asked that Cabrera be sent back to review the boundaries and establish him as the owner. Accordingly, the audiencia commands him to check the boundary and to report back to the audiencia so they can make a decision.
