Apostille on public debt instrument

Apostille on public debt instrument of 400 000 réis to Garcia de Melo de Torres, Conde da Ponte, Francisco de Melo's heir and administrator of his entail. Half of that sum belonged to him since it integrated the third part of his father's assets, and the other half composed the remaining patrimony of his late mother, D. Leonor Henrique de Torres.

Court sentence

Court sentence by which it is confirmed that the public debt instrument of 200 000 réis, the rest of the third part of the Marquês de Sande's assets, and houses he owned in Lisboa were integrated in the entail Francisco de Melo established in his will, and its revenues would support the celebration of annual masses in the church of the convent of S. Domingos of Lisboa.

Will

Will by which Francisco de Melo, Marquês de Sande, husband of D. Leonor Henriques de Torres, established an entail with the third part of his assets, appointing his son, Garcia de Melo de Torres, to be its first administrator. The entail's succession would be conditioned by the same clauses that Garcia de Melo, Francisco's father, had formulated when he founded his own entail. Francisco obligates his heir to support the celebration of annual masses in the church of the convent of S. Domingos of Lisboa, adding to the ones Garcia de Melo had established. He integrates in his entail a public debt instrument of 100 000 réis that his sister, D. Maria Madalena de Meneses, had bequeathed him with that same purpose. D. Maria Madalena had also bequeathed him another public debt instrument of 30 000 réis, with the obligation of celebrating a daily mass, wherever he chose. At the moment, that obligation was being fulfilled by the priest Bartolomeu de Abreu, family chaplain. After his death, it would pass to the friars of the convent of S. Domingos. His son Garcia de Melo should also succeed in the Morgado dos Torres and the institutor also nominated him in the travels to Moçambique and in the Feitoria of Diu. If he died without heirs, it should succeed his daughter D. Madalena Josefa de Mendonça. Francisco appoints the Bispo da Targa, Martim Correia da Silva, his uncle, Manuel Barreto de Sampaio, Francisco Correia de Lacerda and António Monteiro de Mesquita, inquisidor, as his children's tutors.
