Acórdão validating a court sentence which had exempted the defendants, Benedita de Melo and José Botelho, her son-in-law, from giving back to the plaintiffs, Capitão António de Miranda Catela and his wife, the properties attached to Baltasar Mendes dos Reis' entail. The latter were only collateral relatives of the institutor, and did not have the right to administrate the entail, which had to be given to the Misericórdia de Évora according to the institution. The acórdão also overruled part of that sentence, recognizing that the entail founded by Cid António Salvago belonged to Capitão António de Miranda Catela, since he was the closest relative of Francisco de Melo, the last administrator and son of Baltasar Mendes dos Reis.
