_ 203 _ would give an account of this to Your Lordship and to Our Lord, the King. The Moors’ clerks went to the Magistrate’s residence to sign the [closing] settlement on some of Gaspar Pires’ registers, which are being sent to India. Then I went to the Magistrate’s residence to meet up with the clerks. I gave the Magistrate an account of everything which was going on. The Magistrate told the two clerks that they were to continue to fill in the records, as had been done in the past. They told him that the Guazil had given them different orders and that they could do only what the Guazil had instructed. Then I asked the Magistrate to order the two clerks to accompany me to the Captain. The Magistrate gave them orders to go to see the Captain, and they went. We found the Captain, who was about to have dinner. I gave him an account of everything. The Captain told me to come back in the afternoon and that we had to consult the Treasury Controller’s instructions. I went back to see him in the afternoon and requested him to summon the Magistrate and ask him to bring the instructions which the Treasury Controller had left which was in the hands of the said Magistrate.
