established in Mexico, and its first inquisitor was Don Pedro Moya de
Contreras, afterward visitor, archbishop of Mexico, and its viceroy;
and later president of the royal Council of the Indias. See Torquemada,

provision for their conduct and for the care of the revenues from the
bulls. Various laws on this subject are found in _Recopilacion leyes de
