Royal provision issued on behalf of António Barbalho Bezerra, against his brother Duarte Gomes da Silveira, grandson of the institutor and administrator of the entail, ordering the Ouvidor of Paraíba to summon up the accusations that justify his claim to the administration of the entail. He accused the administrator of dispersing all the entailed assets, contradicting the clauses of the entail foundation deed that stated that any administrator who dispersed or sold the entailed assets should immediately lose the administration. He accused Duarte Gomes da Silveira of selling two of the most important entailed sugar mills to João Fernandes Vieira and André Vidal de Negreiros, who purchased them in bad faith, knowing they were entailed.
