Note 76 — Chapter XX
Reading edition
“An antiquated term, signifying a togated judge, one of those who in the court composed what was called “the tribunal of alcaldes,” who, together, constituted the fifth tribunal of the famous Council of Castilla. These alcaldes no longer exist, nor does the tribunal which they formed; because an Audiencia has been established at Madrid, according to a decree of January 20, 1834.” (Dominguez.)
