Grand Master Pinto reports the events of the foiled conspiracy to his ambassadors in Europe.

Laws restricting the movement of slaves are made stricter.

They may not go outside the city limits, and are not to approach any fortifications.

They are forbidden to gather anywhere except in their mosque, and are to sleep only in the Slaves' Prison.

Moreover, they may carry no weapons or keys to government buildings.

Giuseppe Cohen, who had revealed the plan, is given an annual pension of three hundred scudi from the Order's treasury and another two hundred scudi from the Università of Valletta.

Cohen is also given a house in Valletta, which had previously been the seat of the Università until it moved to new premises in 1721.

The house will remain in the Cohen family until 1773, when they will receive an annuity and the building will be taken over to house the Monte di Pietà.
