Court sentence issued by the Ouvidor do Cível da Relação da Baía, regarding a judicial demand that opposed Salvador Vieira, plaintiff, and António Cordeiro, defendant over a land in Vila Velha's district. The land was originally possessed by Salvador Vieira, who abandoned it during the Dutch invasion of the capitania da Baía, between 1624 and 1625, and was given to António Cordeiro as a sesmaria in 1630. Once António Cordeiro remained in possession of the land for more than 25 years, without any complaints of the original owner, the Ouvidor do Cível absolved the defendant from the charges and condemned the plaintiff to recognize the possession of the land and pay for the costs of the process.
