Court proceedings regarding the succession of the entail of abbot Gomes Carneiro.

Court sentence judging Francisco Carneiro de Mariz, plaintiff, as the rightful successor of the entail of abbot Gomes Carneiro because he descends from the first administrator, Francisco Carneiro da Costa, by male bloodline, while Diogo Figueira, defendant, argued that he should succeed to the last administrator, doutor António Mariz Carneiro, who took possession of the entail claiming that the institutor appointed only scholars. It condemns the defendant to relinquish to the plaintiff the entailed assets, with their income generated since the contested lawsuit.
