Moral collected 28 times more fines than the yearly average
Twelve other fines totaled only 367 pesos, an average of little more than 30 pesos per criminal or 20 pesos a year for the 18-year period audited. On the other hand, in his three-year tenure as governor, Moral Sanchez collected 1,693 pesos, an average of 565 pesos a year. This is 28 times greater than the yearly average for the period 1690-1707, indicating that both the amount and the number of fines depended upon the governor in office.
