AuDiESCE is alfo a name of courts of jufticc or tribunals

 there are eleven, which difpcnfe jullice to as many dillrifts, 

 into which the Spani(h domini ns in America are divided. 

 They are ellabhihed at the following places ; viz. St. Do- 

 mingo in the idand of Hilpiiiiola. Mexico in New Spain, 

 Lima in Peru, Panama in Terra I'inna, Santingo in Guati-

 check this interference, which mull have annihilated jullice 

 and fecurity in the Spanifli colonies, the viceroys have been 

 prohibited by repeated laws, from interfering in the judicial 

 proceedings of the courts of audience, or trom delivering
