The Real Audiencia of Buenos Aires, officially known as the Royal Audiencia and Chancery of Buenos Aires, was the highest court of appeals of the Spanish Crown seated in the city of Buenos Aires. It functioned briefly as a praetorial audiencia between 1663 and 1672, with a district that comprised, within the Viceroyalty of Peru, the governorates of the Río de la Plata, Paraguay and Tucumán, erected into a captaincy general.

The Audiencia was reestablished in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata in 1785 as a viceregal audiencia, its district being the intendancies of Buenos Aires, Córdoba del Tucumán, Salta del Tucumán and Paraguay.

After the May Revolution of 1810 it functioned until January 23, 1812, when it was replaced by a court of appeals. Its seat was in the Cabildo of Buenos Aires.

Praetorial audiencia

Creation

The creation of this royal audiencia was ordered by King Philip IV of Spain on April 6, 1661 because of:[1]

Taking into consideration how fitting it is that the provinces of the Río de la Plata, Tucumán and Paraguay be well governed, in military as well as in political matters, justice being administered to their residents with all integrity, and considering that, since those provinces are so distant from my Royal Audiencia of the city of La Plata in the Province of Los Charcas, in whose district they were comprised, their residents could not resort to it to pursue their lawsuits and cases, and to request that justice be done to them for the wrongs done to them by my governors and other powerful persons, and so that in the said provinces the administration of my Treasury may be attended to with the necessary punctuality and the frauds that have been and are being committed against it may be avoided, by admitting foreign ships into the port of Buenos Aires for traffic and trade, this being so prohibited...

Its composition and district were specified as:

I have resolved, among other things and in consultations of my Royal Council of the Indies, that an Audiencia and Royal Chancery be founded and erected, just as there are in the provinces of Chile and the city of Panama, and that it reside in that of La Trinidad of the port of Buenos Aires, and that it be composed of a President, three Oidores and a Fiscal, and of the other ministers that according to its ordinances there ought to be, and that my said President be of cape and sword, and one in whom intelligence in military matters concurs, so that he may at the same time be Governor and Captain General of the Provinces of the Río de la Plata, and that my said Audiencia have as its jurisdiction and district the said Provinces of the Río de la Plata, those of Paraguay and Tucumán, that these be subject to it just as until now they have been to my royal audiencia of the City of La Plata, from which they are disaggregated, separating them from it...

The district was thus erected into a captaincy general, and the Viceroy of Peru was ordered:[2]

... and that the Superior Government of everything in the said Provinces be held by whoever is President of the said Audiencia, just as the Presidents of those of Chile and Panama hold it, and he is to be subordinate to you as those of the said two Audiencias are, without your having any further jurisdiction or dominion over it or over those provinces, notwithstanding that until now they have been under our Government...

Another royal cédula of June 20, 1661 set the guidelines for its operation and appointed as its first President of capa y espada Alonso de Mercado y Villacorta, who could not occupy the post because the audiencia was established after he had left the office of governor, accused of smuggling. On November 23, 1662 the King appointed as President, Governor and Captain General the Maestre de Campo José Martínez de Salazar, who took office on July 28, 1663 and, not being a lawyer, had a voice but no vote in judicial cases. On August 1, 1663 the royal seal was solemnly received in Buenos Aires, and on August 3, 1663 the audiencia was established when the president, two oidores and other members took their oath.[3]

Its first oidores and alcaldes del crimen, appointed for 3 years, were:

  • Licentiate Pedro García de Ovalle – former fiscal of the Audiencia of Charcas – as senior Oidor. On completing his term on August 3, 1666 he was appointed Alcalde del crimen of the Audiencia of Lima.
  • Doctor Pedro de Rojas y Luna – who came from Spain – was appointed on January 30, 1663 in replacement of Fernando de Yrabedra Paz, who remained in Spain. When his term expired he was named Alcalde del crimen of the Audiencia of Lima, but he died before traveling, in 1666 or 1667.
  • Doctor Alonso de Solórzano y Velasco – former oidor of the Audiencia of Chile – was appointed for 4 years on September 6, 1664 in replacement of Doctor Juan de Huerta Gutiérrez – also a former oidor of the Audiencia of Chile – who did not take office, having been named Inquisitor in Lima.
  • Manuel Muñoz de Cuellar, incorporated as Oidor in 1666.

The first fiscal appointed was Juan de Lerín, but he did not take office, and on December 9, 1662 Diego Portales y Salas was appointed, taking up the post on August 16, 1663. Portales y Salas was appointed oidor on May 25, 1667, and was replaced as fiscal by Diego Ibáñez de Faría in 1669 – appointed on July 20, 1667.

Abolition

By royal cédula of December 31, 1671, which was carried out on October 26, 1672, this audiencia was ordered abolished, all lawsuits returning to the previous jurisdiction, that is, to the Audiencia of Charcas, and the jurisdiction of the Viceroy of Peru being restored. The President of the audiencia, José Martínez de Salazar, ceased in that office but continued as Governor of the Río de la Plata.

… various letters and papers from that Audiencia and other reports that have been received having been examined in the Royal Council of the Indies, with the special attention that the gravity of this matter requires, and having been consulted on what was offered concerning it, considering that experience has shown that the formation of that Audiencia has not produced the effects that were expected, nor have the ends that gave rise to its erection been achieved, and for other just considerations of the Royal Service, I have resolved that it be abolished... there shall only be, in place of the Audiencia, a governor and captain general of those provinces, which are now to be comprised again within the jurisdiction and government of the Audiencia of Charcas as they were before, in each and every respect, without any alteration whatsoever...

Although it had already been abolished, the Recopilación de Leyes de Indias, enacted on May 18, 1680, in law XIII (Audiencia y Chancilleria Real de la Ciudad de la Trinidad, Puerto de Buenos Ayres) of title XV (De las Audiencias y Chancillerias Reales de las Indias) of book II, records the boundaries and officials of this audiencia, taken from the royal cédula of 1661:[4][5]

In the City of La Trinidad, Port of Buenos Aires, there shall reside another of our Audiencias and Royal Chanceries, with a President, Governor and Captain General; three Oidores, who shall also be Alcaldes del Crimen; a Fiscal; an Alguacil mayor; a Lieutenant of the Grand Chancellor, and the other necessary Ministers and Officials, and it shall have as its district all the Cities, Towns, Places and lands comprised in the Provinces of the Río de la Plata, Paraguay and Tucumán, notwithstanding that until now they have been under the district and jurisdiction of that of Los Charcas, inasmuch as we disaggregate and separate them from it for this purpose; and the jurisdiction is to be understood as extending to everything that is at present pacified and settled in the said three Provinces, and to whatever may be reduced, pacified and settled in them. And it is our will that to the governor and captain general of the said provinces, and president of their Royal Audiencia, shall belong exclusively the provision of matters of government; except that, for his better judgment, we order that in the cases and matters of government that may arise and be of importance, the said Governor shall discuss and treat them with the Oidores of the same Audiencia, so that they may give him their opinion in a consultative capacity, and having heard them, he shall provide what is most fitting for the service of God and our own, and for the peace and tranquility of those Provinces and Republic, and in all things they shall proceed according to law and their special Ordinances.

Viceregal audiencia

The internal divisions of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata in 1783.

It was created in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata – which had been created provisionally on August 1, 1776 and became effective the following year – during the reign of Charles III of Spain by royal decree of July 25, 1782, and communicated to the Viceroy on April 14, 1783:[6]

... I have resolved, by my Royal Decree of the twenty-fifth of the following July, to establish a Praetorial Royal Audiencia in the same Capital of Buenos Aires, which shall have as its district the Province of that name, and the three of Paraguay, Tucumán and Cuyo. That once its establishment is carried out, there shall be abolished in the same Capital the Office of Protector of Indians, that of defender of my Royal Treasury and that of Alguacil Mayor of those my Royal Treasuries; and that of Auditor of war, as soon as the current Assessor of that Viceroyalty is no longer there, since for now both posts must continue to be united in him. That the new Audiencia be composed of the Viceroy as President, a Regent, four Oidores and a Fiscal, to whose Office that of Protector of Indians is to be united... That there be two Fiscal Agents, two Reporters, and two Chamber Clerks... with the understanding that the corresponding cédulas are being dispatched with today's date to my Royal Audiencias of Chile and Charcas so that they may be informed of the territory that is segregated from their respective jurisdiction...

After its publication by proclamation on August 5, 1785, the solemn installation of the audiencia took place on August 8, 1785, the royal seal arriving the following day. Its first regent was Manuel Antonio de Arredondo y Pelegrín, and its oidores: Alonso González Pérez, Sebastián de Velasco, Tomás Ignacio Palomeque. The fiscal was José Márquez de la Plata.

Its territory comprised the intendancies of Buenos Aires, Paraguay, Córdoba del Tucumán and Salta del Tucumán and the governorates subordinate to Buenos Aires of Misiones and Montevideo. These, except what had been the Corregimiento of Cuyo (separated from the Real Audiencia of Chile), were segregated from the Audiencia of Charcas.

It was presided over by the viceroy, and had a regent, four oidores, a fiscal (who would at the same time be protector of Indians), two fiscal agents, a chancellor, two reporters, two chamber clerks, four procurators, an appraiser and a distributor, two doorkeepers and a sweeper. It had three functions to fulfill: the first purely judicial, the second political and the third particular and exclusive to each district. The most important of its powers were the judicial ones: as a court of appeal, it received the cases decided in first instance by alcaldes, governors and other officials. In special cases, it could act as a court of first instance, that is, the claim could be filed directly before it. It was also an appellate court in civil and criminal cases tried in lower courts, and a court of first instance in the so-called "casos de corte" and in problems with the Indians.

According to Ots Capdequi,[7] citing Ruiz Guiñazú,[8] there were three types of audiencia in the Spanish colonial territories: viceregal, praetorial and subordinate audiencias. The viceregal audiencias were those established in the capital of the viceroyalty itself and presided over by the viceroy himself. The praetorial ones were those located in the metropolitan cities of a captaincy general, presided over in turn by a captain general and governor. The subordinate ones were all the rest, which did not fit these characteristics. However, the Audiencia of Buenos Aires, which at first was indeed to be considered praetorial, later, when it was reinstated after the creation of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, was not considered viceregal, continuing to be designated as praetorial, although it possessed the rank of the former.[9]

Audiencia after the May Revolution

On May 25, 1810 the May Revolution took place in the Río de la Plata when the Primera Junta took control of Buenos Aires. The oidores Francisco Tomás de Anzoátegui, Manuel de Velasco and Manuel José de Reyes, together with the fiscales Manuel Genaro Villota and Antonio Caspe y Rodríguez and the Viceroy and president Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros, were arrested and deported to the Canary Islands on June 22, 1810 on a British cutter.

This action thwarted the plans of the Commander of the Naval Station of Montevideo, José María Salazar, who intended to establish the Viceroy and the audiencia in the royalist city of Montevideo. For this he counted on the appointed Oidor Juan de Zea y Villarroel, who had arrived in Montevideo on June 14, 1810, and he sent a ship to the Capilla de Mercedes in search of Oidor José Márquez de la Plata, who had been recovering there from an illness since December 1809. The latter excused himself on account of his illness, and on September 7, 1810 the Junta ordered that his salary not be paid as long as he did not publicly recognize it.

On June 23, 1810 the Junta filled the vacant places by appointing as associate judges the lawyers Vicente Anastasio Echevarría, Pedro Medrano and José Darregueira, and as fiscal for civil and criminal matters José Simón García de Cossio. The regency continued to be held by Lucas Muñoz y Cubero.[36]

On January 15, 1811 Francisco Javier de Elío arrived in Montevideo as Viceroy and President of the Real Audiencia of Buenos Aires, requiring the latter to recognize him, but he was rejected. On April 17, 1811 the Council of Regency ordered the installation of the audiencia in Montevideo, appointing new members: Manuel de Irigoyen (regent), Luis Gonzalo del Río, José Acevedo Salazar and Juan de Zea y Villarroel as oidores, and Miguel Lastarria as fiscal. However, Elío replied that his jurisdiction was limited only to Montevideo and the Río de la Plata and did not carry out the order.[37][38]

On January 23, 1812 the First Triumvirate enacted the Reglamento de Institución y Administración de Justicia del gobierno Superior Provisional de las Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata, which replaced the Real Audiencia with the Cámara de Apelaciones (Court of Appeals).[39]
