NOTES

[1] The sense is here somewhat incomplete; there may be some omission
in the text.

[2] _Fuerza_: injury committed by an ecclesiastical judge; see
_Vol_. v, p. 292.

[3] Apparently a reference to the organization of "el Nuevo Reino
['the new kingdom'] de Granada," afterward known as Nueva (or New)
Granada; a name applied in the nineteenth century to the country
now known as United States of Colombia. This region was conquered by
Gonzalo Jiminez Quesada in 1537, its capital (established August 6,
1538) being Santa Fe de Bogota.

paragraph, for the convenience of the council in considering the
document.

[5] The botanical name of the clove is _Caryophyllus aromaticus_. See
Crawfurd's excellent account, both descriptive and historical, of this
valued product, in his _Dict. of Indian Islands_, pp. 101-105. Cf. the
account by Duarte Barbosa, in _East Africa and Malabar_ (Hakluyt
Soc. publications No. 35, London, 1866), pp. 201, 219, 227; he says,
among other things: "And the trees from which they do not gather
it for three years after that become wild, so that their cloves are
worth nothing." Crawfurd says: "It is only in its native localities,
the five small islets [Moluccas] on the western coast of the large
island of Gilolo, that it is easily grown, and attains the highest
perfection. There, it bears in its seventh or eighth year, and lives
to the age of 130 or 150." He also states that the Dutch, in their
attempt to secure the monopoly of the clove trade, exterminated the
clove trees from the Moluccas, and endeavored to limit their growth
to the five Amboyna islands, in which they had introduced the clove.

which Acuna belonged.
