vni, D. 3 Salt: Carriedo y Peredo 169 



Among his relations mentioned are his sisters, Maria Mercia 

 Carriedo, a nun in the convent of San Andres de Aroyo, and 

 Juliana Antonia Carriedo y Peredo; his brother, Juan Antonio 

 de Carriedo (deceased) ; his nephew, Jose de Castaiieda y Ca- 

 rriedo — all living in Spain — ; and his uncle, Pedro Carriedo, of 

 Valladolid, in the Province of Michoacan, New Spain, whom he 

 makes his residuary legatee. 



To the will is attached a request that he shall be buried in the 

 habit of a Franciscan lay brother, and certain moneys are left 

 to be expended on clothes for prisoners and inmates of hospitals 

 on the day of his funeral. In all, the will contains 48 clauses 

 and a codicil." For our purpose, the most important clauses 

 are numbers 34, 35, and the attached codicil. His great per- 

 sonal interest in the city of Manila had led him in December, 

 1733, to offer 14,000 pesos to the city of Manila and its mer- 

 chants; and although this offer was then laid on the table it 

 was now again repeated. The amount was to be divided into two 

 portions of 10,000 pesos and 4,000 pesos. Both portions were 

 to be invested, under definite conditions, by the city authorities, 

 until they reached a specified figure, and were then to be devoted 



" An authorized copy of the will was obtained by the authorities of 

 the city of Manila in 1764 on the motion of Regidor Andres de Barrio, 

 bearing the imprimatur of Ramon Orendain, executive secretary. This, 

 however, was lost in the transference of documents to the "Junta de 

 Consolidacion de Vales Reales" in 1809 (vide post, p. 176) , and the munic- 

 ipal board did not possess another copy until 1883, when, by the energy 

 of Regidor Ramon Aenlle, another was secured from Spain, authenticated 

 by Candido Gomez Oreiia, notary public of Santillana. This is now in 

 the city archives. The amount left by Carriedo was increased in 1774 

 through the recoveiy by his attorney, Nicolas Diaz, of a sum (not stated), 

 the amount of which was lent on a note of hand to Captain Andres 

 Blanco Bermudez. — Mas y Otzet, Carriedo y sus obras (1882), 45-46;

One of his tasks, that of executor to Sargento-Mayor Manuel de 

 Miranda, involved him in a lengthy lawsuit with his sister-in-law's second 

 husband, Captain Tomas Gomez de Angulo. In October, 1733, Angulo 

 sued Carriedo for 2,805 pesos, 7 tomins, 6 granos (12 granosr;:! tomin, 

 8 tomins=l peso), the amount of his wife's dowry, and of certain sums 

 spent from her first husband's estate during her widowhood, winning his
