Note 46.3 — LOS INTERESES CREADOS

Ordenanzas. Ordinances or police regulations that required (and still require) Spanish innkeepers to report to the authorities within twenty-four hours of the arrival of a guest, his name, the place from which he comes, his business, and other details. A satisfactory statement of the law is to be found in the Novísima recopilación, Lib. III, Tit. XIX, Ley XXVII, 4. The Novísima recopilación is published in fairly convenient form in Alcubilla's Códigos antiguos de España (page 1011). Of course the date assigned to the action of Los intereses creados is anterior to 1805, the year of the formulation of the code just mentioned; but the legal requirement was approximately the same in the earlier time.
