Acórdão (transcription)

Acórdão from the Desembargo revoking the previous sentences of the judge and ouvidor, which ruled Francisco da Costa de Mesquita as rightful successor of the entail of Francisco da Costa de Mesquita and ordered the defendant, Domingos da Costa de Mesquita, to relinquish the entailed properties. Although Domingos da Costa de Mesquita is a natural and legitimated son of the last administrator, Jorge da Costa de Mesquita, is excluded from the succession because there is a legitimate descendant of the institutor, his cousin and plaintiff, Francisco da Costa de Mesquita.
