Code entry
The "gasto de indios," or "Indian expense," made its appearance in 1593. The Crown recognized it as an unavoidable expense in 1615, with instructions- consistently ignored-to keep it under 1500 ducats a year. The Indian fund became supplementary to the regular situado in 1616. (Bushnell SS)
