It's fascinating to read everyone's transcriptions of these pages, and to add some of my own transcription to work that is already here. To look back beyond the most recent transcription of this page, you can click on the versions tab, choose different transcriber's versions to compare, and get a color-coded visual of words that have been added and omitted.
Also, a note to say that this page includes the ruling of the Governor (the Baron of Carondelet), who decides that the people who are accused of gambling who are known to have money have to pay fifty silver ducats to the court, the judge, and the people who apprehended them. Carondolet orders Pedro Diaz, the owner of the tavern where they were gambling, to pay 100 silver ducats (or the equivalent in confiscated goods) to the same trifecta, even though earlier Pedro Diaz has sworn he was sleeping the whole time that the card game was going on.
