Sumario:The application of the New Laws of 1542-1543, the work of Las Casas, by the Royal Court of the Confines and of Guatemala, created in its chapter XI, during the lifetime of its promoter, the Apostle of the Indians, is studied in this paper. The magistrates and governors in charge of imposing them on conquerors, settlers and encomenderos, maintained opposing positions when it came to practising the ideas of Las Casas and the royal mandates on the abolition of indigenous slavery, the reform of the encomienda regime (native labour plus tribute), with initial prohibition –until its repeal in 1545- of succession in the repartimientos de indios, and the moderate taxation of tributes (chaps. XXI, XXX, XXXVIII).
