Acórdão judging a civil process between the procurador da Coroa, plaintiff, and Domingos de Morais, defendant, administrators of the chapel of Santo Estêvão, instituted by Estêvão Vaz and Florença Eanes, his wife, in the church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira of Guimarães.
The sentence absolves the defendant, as he is a legitimate descendant of the founders, ordering the chapel to be crossed out from the list of Capelas da Coroa. It is also proved that, due to the reduction in the chapel's income, the charges had previously been reduced, so the defendant did not meet the institution's, but only had to meet those of the reduction. In this sense, it is ordered that the provedor verify the chapel's income, as well as if the lease of the properties (carried out with reduced incomes) were made in accordance with the Ordenações. Taking into account the high number of properties, it is also ordered to verify their number, with those existing in the institution and in the tombo.
Judgment given by desembargador Tomé Pinheiro da Veiga, juiz dos tombos, averiguação e manifestações das Capelas da Coroa, in the name of Filipe III, and signed by Pedro Lamirante, escrivão dos Feitos da Coroa.
