Acórdão

Acórdão em relação, judging a civil process between the condes of Sarzedas, plaintiffs, against João Rodrigues Carreiro and his wife, and the procurador da Coroa, defendants, on the administration of the chapel instituted by Branca Eanes and Martinho do Sem, in the convent of São Domingos of Santarém.
The sentence judges the entail as vacant for the Crown, as the plaintiffs failed to prove that they were descendants of the institutors. It also judges the documents presented by the defendants as invalid, not legitimizing the possession of the entail, but only the usufruct of 40.000 réis which, with those of the chapel of Martinho Pires Vieira and Catarina Álvares, in Nossa Senhora de Marvila, were given to them by an ordinance of the Conselho da Fazenda. Orders the Crown to be sworn in.
