no receiving' petitions for public land till another is appointed.
On account of the death of the assessor of this intendancy,
and there not being in the province a learned man,
who can supply his place, I have closed the tribunal of affairs
and causes relating- to grants and compositions of
royal lands, as the 81st article of the royal ordinance, 'for
the intendants of New Spain, provides that for conducting
that tribunal, and substantiating its acts, the concurrence
of that officer shall be necessary.
I make this communication to apprise you of this providence,
and that you may not receive or transmit memorials
for the grant of lands, until further orders. God
preserve you, Sec.
