Note 80 — Chapter VI · THE AUDIENCIA AND THE GOVERNOR: GENERAL RELATIONS

Colección legislativa de España, LXXXVI, 1–45. Elliott, in his Philippines to the end of the military regime, p. 242, states incorrectly that this reform took place in 1865. Mr. Elliott did not make use of the sources. It is to be noted, too, that Dr. Barrows in his article on “The governor general of the Philippines,” in The Pacific Ocean in history makes contradictory statements relative to this matter. On page 242 he asserts that the governor was president of the audiencia till 1844, and on page 248 the statement occurs that “a further specialization of 1861 deprived the governor-general of his judicial powers.”
