N2  - "Islas Filipinas - Administracion de Justicia" by Carlos Villarragut y Estevan is a detailed historical account written in the late 19th century. The book discusses the legal system and administration of justice in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. Through meticulous examination, it sheds light on the judicial structure, the roles of various judges and courts, and how justice was administered among the diverse populations in the archipelago.  The text delves into several aspects of the legal framework established by the Spanish, including the legislation applicable to the islands and the organization of local tribunals and judges. Villarragut provides insights into the roles of different judicial figures, such as the local judges (gobernadorcillos) and the higher judicial authorities, such as the Real Audiencia and the Supreme Tribunal of Justice. He explores the interactions between traditional indigenous practices and the imposed Spanish legal structures, detailing the civil and penal systems and their implications for the residents. Overall, the book serves as both a historical document and an analysis of law and order in the Philippines, emphasizing the importance of administrative justice in the colonial context.
