He is sent as a prisoner; may your Lordship be pleased to command that he be delivered to the alcaldes. I ordered Diego Ronquillo, the former governor of these islands, to present himself at the royal criminal court at Madrid, to account to his Majesty for the large sum of money that had been delivered to him as the executor and trustee of Don Goncalo Ronquillo.
[13] He is escorted by an alguazil to the royal prison of that Audiencia, so that, in case sufficient bonds are not given at his presentation in the criminal court of his Majesty, he may be held a prisoner, in accordance with the said residencia, which I am sending.
I beg your illustrious Lordship to command that these arrangements be carried out. Juan Martin Coyfino will, I believe, escort these prisoners; and, as he is a very zealous man, I have recommended that he take with him the Sangley religious.
[14] I entreat your illustrious Lordship to see that his companion is rewarded, also to order the payment of their expenses.
May our Lord watch over the illustrious person of your Lordship and may the prosperity of your house increase as we your servants desire.
