Spain told SA's treasury to use unclaimed wages to improve defenses
In 1655, the year the English took Jamaica, the treasury officials were ordered to use the unpaid wages of deserters and the deceased to improve the presidio’s defenses. Accountant Santos de las Heras objected that deserters forfeited their wages, the back wages of the deceased without heirs went to purchase masses for their souls, and, with situados three years behind, nobody was being paid anyway. The king’s advisors replied that the accountant was to pay the living first and let the dead wait. AN128 [Note 22: Santos de las Heras 2/10/1658, and replay 4/7/1660]
