ABSTRACT

The Governor Don Francisco Pizarro remained near the tribunal at Mala, and heard of everything that took place there. He often wrote to the Judge, urging him to lose no time in pronouncing judgment, for he had now seen the royal Decrees and knew the latitude of the river of Santiago and of the city of Cuzco. He and all his captains believed that the judgment would be in their favour. The Provincial could not deny, as I am aware, that he was more inclined to the interests of the Governor than to those of the Adelantado.
