Excerpt: ... Ordinances of October 7th, 1786. timately established, it ought to be observed, as well in the Mines as in the mills and Haciendas for grinding and reducing the ores; but where there is no such custom, the pay will be regulated by Ordinance 18, Title I, Book 3, of those of Peru, which will also be observed with respect to the hours of work, both day and night, but voluntary agreements between the owners and the operatives, to pay them more, are not by this proion prohibited, and the same shall be done when the situation and depth of the Mines render it just, for the said Ordinance is only to be the rule in order to prevent a reduction of the pay below that which it prescribes, and in order that the most active and proper care be taken that neither the greediness of the owners may underrate the value of labor, nor that of the operatives overrate it and render it unprofitable, by curtailing the hours.

Part Jcontains the laws, edicts, c, prior to 1584, the most important of which are the Ordinances of March 18th, 1563, usually denominated The Old Cede.
