Adminstration of Justice

The supreme court of justice in the Philippines is established in Manila

which is the tribunal of appeal from the subordinate jurisdiction and the

consulative council of the governor-general in cases of gravity.

The court is composed os seven judges. The president takes the title of

Regeant. There are two government advocates, one for criminal, the other for

civil causes and variety of subordinate officers. There are no less than eighty

barristers, matriculated to practice in the Audencia.

There are fourscore lawyers in Manila. As far as my experience goes,

lawyers are the course of colonies. In the Philippines truth is swamped by the

superfluity of law documents. Games of chance are strictly prohibited in the

Philippines but the prohibition is utterly inefficient. Generally the crime rate is

lower from the period of 1851 to 1855


Chapter XI

Public instruction is in an unsatisfactory state in the Philippines - the provisions

are litte changed from thse of the monkish ages. University of St. Thomas,

Santa Potenciana, Colegialas delos Beaterios are some schools established in

early 80’[Link] were some nautical schools and academy of painting were

established also. University of Sto Tomas focus on theology, cannon and civil

law, metaphysics and grammar but no attention is givien to natural sciences,

and modern languages. While Santa Potenciana requires that girls be recieved

and taught to live modestly and sound under doctrine to come out for marriage

and propagation of the race. Among the novel objects that meet the eye in

Manila, especially on the morning of religious fiestas are group of veild women,

wearing dark mysterious costume, who visit the different churches there are

the sisterhood called the Colegialas de los Beaterios, a religious

establishements in which young women received education supported by pios

foundation.

Moreover founadtion such as beaterio of Pasig devoted to the reception of

orphans. They taught Christian doctrine, sewing, reading,writing, embroidery

and other instruction becoming the sex.

Charitable institutions were established also in Manila like the The Hospital

of San Juan de Dios for soldiers and the rest of paupers and criminal by the
Jesuits that later on expelled by Carlos II in the Philippines. On the other hand

Hospital of St. Lazarus was under the Franciscan friars catered christian lepers

Chapter X Army and Navy

There are nine regiments of native infantry, one of calvary, called the

Luzon Lancers and there is a reserve corps of officers called Cuadro de

emplazos, from whom individuals are selected to fill up vacancies. The

maritime forces are under the orders of the commandant of the statation. They

consist of four steamers and one brig of war six gun boats and considerable

number of faulas which are employed in the coasting service and for

suppresion o piracy.
