Does anyone know the origin of the expression Spanish practices?

See here: en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Spanish_practices. I certainly remember as a child my father explaining ructions between the British newspaper owners and their employees and describing to me the "old Spanish customs" that the print workers were attempting to defend, such as filling in work sheets in the name "M. Mouse" or "D. Duck". (VSD)
