Traslado de 1796, extraído do tombo 1.º do Resíduo, f. 445.

REDUÇÃO DE ENCARGOS: a sentença do juiz dos Resíduos de 1802-03-04 (f. 20 v.º-21 v.º) determina para o futuro a adequação do número de missas à taxa estabelecida pelo testador «satisfazer a pensão cujo vencimento da esmola que por ele foi tachada for suficiente para satisfazer a benese dela, segundo a esmola que corre».

Depois, uma sentença do juiz dos Resíduos de 1824-03-01 (f. 48 v.º-49) estabelece que, como não era possível dizer uma missa cantada por 200 réis, deveria reservarse tal soma «athe que fasa hua soma que equivalha a esmola da missa cantada, como já se mandou no despacho a f. 20». Nesta mesma sentença, ordena que se averigue que possui a casa da rua do Peixe onerada à primeira pensão para que se faça cumprir, para tanto o escrivão deveria observar se haveria outros deste instituidor. SUCESSÃO: nomeia o filho Jácome Caldeira, ausente no Brasil e seu herdeiro universal (de toda a sua fazenda e terça). No testamento determina que, na falta de descendência, a terça ficaria a dois filhos do irmão Simão Caldeira - sendo a casa da rua dos Ferreiros para o mais velho e a casa da rua do Peixe para o secundogénito. Se algum deles falecesse sem geração, herdaria o outro. Porém, no codicilo, o instituidor estabelece a sua sucessão, em caso de falta de geração, no irmão Aleixo Caldeira e seus filhos. BENS VINCULADOS: toma a terça nas duas casas sitas, respetivamente, nas ruas do Peixe e dos Ferreiros, que comprara por 160.000 réis aos filhos de Marcos de Lima. No aditamento ao testamento, feito dois dias depois, em 28-05-1582, receando que «sua fazenda lhe não venha do Brazil como deve», em tal caso, vincula à terça apenas a casa da rua do Peixe, impondo na mesma o anterior encargo total de 1600 réis, antes distribuídos pelos dois imóveis. Determina que tudo o que coubesse na terça seria gasto por sua alma e no casamento de órfãs pobres, e dariam 10.000 réis para o casamento de Maria Fernandes, filha da viúva Catarina Fernandes.
