VOLUME XVIII

P. 36, note: In the books of the India House at Sevilla, accounts were carefully kept for the estates of deceased persons (VOL. XVIII, p. 36, note 3), the deceased being credited “with all that is brought over in armadas and flotas, and debited with all that is delivered to his heirs, executors, and creditors.” These funds grew very large, and loans were made therefrom; in 1633 the king borrowed over 500,000 ducats, but would not return this money. Later, such property was forfeited, if unclaimed for two years. By decree of 1671, the treasurer was allowed one per cent for managing these funds. (Moses, “Casa de Contratación of Sevilla,” in Report of American Historical Association, 1894, pp. 106, 107.)
