Bill of complaint moved by Salvador Vieira against António Cordeiro appealling against the sentence that was issued by the Ouvidor-Geral do Cível da Relação da Baía by which he was convicted to recognize the legitimate possession of António Cordeiro over the disputed land.

Court sentence issued by the Ouvidor do Cível da Relação da Baía, João de Góis de Araújo, denying the appeal made by the defendant, Manuel Lopes da Costa, in which he tried to revert the sentence given against him. The Ouvidor do Cível confirmed his condemnation, sentencing Manuel Lopes da Costa to restitute the disputed land and pay for the costs of the process, otherwise, the 7.303 réis would be seized on the chapel's assets.

Court sentence issued by the Ouvidor do Cível da Relação da Baía, regarding a judicial demand that opposed Salvador Vieira, plaintiff, and António Cordeiro, defendant over a land in Vila Velha's district. The land was originally possessed by Salvador Vieira, who abandoned it during the Dutch invasion of the capitania da Baía, between 1624 and 1625, and was given to António Cordeiro as a sesmaria in 1630. Once António Cordeiro remained in possession of the land for more than 25 years, without any complaints of the original owner, the Ouvidor do Cível absolved the defendant from the charges and condemned the plaintiff to recognize the possession of the land and pay for the costs of the process.

Court sentence issued by the Ouvidor do Cível da Relação da Baía, João de Góis de Araújo, judging that the sesmaria that was given to António Cordeiro by the Governador-Geral in 1630 was unlawfully given, and therefore null. He condemned the defendant, Manuel Lopes da Costa, to restitute the disputed land to the monastery of São Bento and to pay for the costs of the process.

Court sentence issued by the Ouvidor do Cível da Relação da Baía, João de Góis de Araújo, recognizing Manuel Lopes da Costa as depositary of the entailed assets of the chapel of São Pedro founded by António Cordeiro, and therefore enabling him to be summoned as defendant on the judicial dispute over the land in Vila Velha's district.

Dispatch issued by the Ouvidor do Cível da Relação da Baía, João de Góis de Araújo, approving the motion moved by Bento Teixeira, depositary of the chapel founded by António Cordeiro, against the abbot of São Bento's monastery, regarding the judicial dispute between them over a land. The motion was approved because the appellant had successfully proved that there was a cause in the Juízo das Capelas regarding the succession of the entail between him, as prosecutor of his mother Margarida Vieira, sister-in-law of the institutor, and Francisco Lobo, prosecutor of a cousin of the institutor. Therefore the Ouvidor accepted that Bento Teixeira could not be summoned once the cause of the succession was still running and had religious fundaments, and he, as depositary, could not dispose of the entailed assets.

Dispatch issued by the desembargador da Relação da Baía, João de Góis de Araújo, over the execution of the Acórdão issued by the Casa da Suplicação, on the cause that opposed the heirs of Salvador Vieira and António Vieira, judging that for the execution to be made, the heirs of both parties involved should first make their qualifications first, once the plaintiff and the defendant were both deceased.
