It mentions that the estate of the farm and the chapel were usurped by the prior of Alcainça, who leased the chapel to Miguel Vaz Brandão and the quinta do Arneiro and the Paço in Belmonte to his brother Lourenço Vaz Brandão, without fulfilling the charges. These leases were judged as null and thus it was declared that the administrations of the Quinta and the chapel are independent and vacant for the Crown (repealing the clause of a previous sentence which determined the Quinta do Arneiro as being attached to the chapel, by virtue of an old will that had no value). It was also ordered the apposition in the chapel of a headstone stating the pious charges now determined.
