Court sentence (transcription)

Court sentence judging the plaintiff, not named, as the rightful successor of the entail of D. Gil Eanes da Costa and D. Joana da Silva, because he is the eldest male son of D. João Mascarenhas and D. Maria da Costa, the daughter of D. António da Costa and last administrator. The plaintiff is forced to annex to the entail, within six months, part of the assets that his mother and grandfather should have entailed. It condemns D. Nuno da Costa, defendant and his younger brother, to relinquish to him the entailed assets with their income generated since the contested lawsuit. The defendant claimed to be the rightful successor of this entail because his brother, the plaintiff, is already the administrator of the entail of a public debt instrument of 100.000 réis founded by Gil Eanes da Costa. It also excludes from the succession D. João da Costa, qualified opponent, who claimed that the plaintiff and defendant are sons of an excluded daughter, since the entail is from agnation.
