Sergeant Major Espinosa had the accountant arrested
In his role of royal judge a treasury official bore one staff, and as a regidor he was entitled to another. When the choleric Sergeant Major Espinosa, enraged at Nicolas Ponce de Leon I, was restrained by companions from killing him, he called into the counting house to his adjutant to seize the accountant’s symbol of authority and arrest him. The officer did so, breaking Ponce de Leon’s staff to pieces. [Note 62: Nicolas Ponce de Leon 7/3/1632]
