Each diocese had its own Juzgado, which was generally located in the episcopal palace. The one in the archbishopric occupied several rooms on the ground floor and in the year 1838 its director, Dr D. Felipe Osores, wrote to the chapter to complain of the lack of space and the need of an additional room. He explained the inconveniences of the present accommodation and pointed out the obvious dangers of keeping the money chests in the same room to which the public were daily admitted for the conduct of their business. He emphasized that because most of the coinage received was in copper, four large chests at least were needed, and these filled every spare corner at one end of the room. The other end was used to receive and count the money and there was hardly space for the table. Hence because the public seemed to see nothing but overflowing money chests there was a general misconception about the wealth of the Juzgado. He then recalled that only recently thieves had attempted to open the doors with skeleton keys, probably encouraged by the mistaken belief that the chests contained great amounts. Moreover, the attempt had been made in broad daylight between seven and eight in the morning, and according to the only porter in the building the thieves had had the effrontery to return to measure the locks on the doors.
