Court sentence

Court sentence regarding motions set by Francisco Correia de Lacerda and José da Costa Dias about the properties entailed to the chapel founded by padre João da Costa. It was claimed that the farmstead da Talha Grande in S. João da Talha, entailed to this chapel, had been subrogated by Pedro Vaz de Sá, its former administrator, for a public debt instrument and houses in Lisboa. However, José da Costa Dias claimed there was no subrogation deed or any public debt instrument proving this subrogation, and that the houses had been leased by Pedro Vaz de Sá, and thus couldn't have been entailed. José da Costa Dias was considered right, against Francisco Correia de Lacerda's claims, and it was judged that the farmstead was still entailed to the chapel and thus it was seized and its possessor was ordered to pay the obligations of the chapel until he presented the subrogation deed and proof that the subrogated properties were free of other charges.
