Court proceedings regarding the succession of the entail of doutor Pedro de Cascais de Abreu.

Court sentence (transcription) judging Sebastião de Abreu Freire, plaintiff, as the rightful administrator of the entail of Doutor Pedro de Cascais de Abreu. Pedro Cascais de Abreu was succeded by his daughter, D. Catarina de Abreu, and by his granddaughter D. Maria de Abreu, who died without children. Sebastião Freire de Abreu was the next administrator as he was the son of Manuel Álvares de Abreu, cousin of the institutor, and had been raised by the institutor when he became fatherless. He had, however, been accused by Manuel Mendes Mexia, defendant, of being married to a descendant of a mullato, which ought to exclude him from the succession of the entail. It was proven that this accusation was false, and the defendant was condemned to relinquish the entail's properties to the plaintif.

Documents produced by the entail.

Will by which Pedro de Cascais de Abreu, do Desembargo do Rei and promotor fiscal do Santo Ofício da Inquisição de Coimbra, expresses his wish to be buried in the church of Santa Maria do Castelo de Olivença, with a tomb similar to the one of his cousin, Lopo Soares, whose chapel he administers. He bequeaths 100 000 réis to the priests of the church of Santa Maria do Castelo to employ in masses for himself, the 8 masses set in the estate of Alparragena by Leonor de Cascais, and the two masses set on an olive grove in Pentieira. If they don't fulfill the obligations, it will pass to the priests of the church of Santa Maria Madalena de Olivença. If they refuse, this obligation will pass to his heirs. He designates his natural daughter, D. Catarina de Abreu, who is being raised to become a nun, as first administrator of his entail, if the monastery she professes in allows her to have properties.
He entails his third part as a chapel with a daily mass over his tomb, which shall be given to his heirs. He includes in this entail the chapels he possesses, but the masses of those chapels will be administered by the priests, as mentioned. He entails to it his free and entailed houses in Olivença, the estate of Alparragena, with its leases, and the olive grove of Pentieira. If he doesn't have descendants, some of the houses he possesses shall pass to the children of António de Sousa and Maria del Rio, descendants of his uncle, Manuel de Cascais, and the others will pass to the heirs of his nephew, Francisco Martins Mexia, since they are also entailed. In the same situation, the olive grove will pass to the descendants of Diogo Álvares Restolho.
If he doesn't have successors, the part of his entail which doesn't belong to any other heirs will pass to his nephew, Manuel de Sousa Cascais, son of António de Sousa and Maria del Rio. If he dies without successors, it will pass to his sister, Maria de Sambrana, and to her descendants, or to the descendants of Francisco Martins Mexia.

Will by which Manuel Mendes Mexia Botelho, expresses his wish to be buried in the chapel of Nossa Senhora do Rosário of the main church of Olivença. He bequeaths his third part to his cousin and wife, D. Joana Botelho de Vasconcelos, as an entail and chapel, during her lifetime, with the obligation of a mass in the day of S. José. After her death, the entail shall pass to their eldest son, José Mexia, and to his descendants, or to his siblings. If they don't have descendants, the entail will pass to one of their cousins, Pedro Vaz Pinto or D. Antónia Lacerda.
