1913-07-06, DISPUTE

Case: Dispute for spreading false rumours against Father Dâmaso Monteiro Filipe, parish priest. The pronouncement order states that: said publicly and in the presence of several people that Paiva Couceiro has elements to invade and attack the country (...). Said statements are intended to alarm and shake the public spirit and undermine the confidence in public safety and order (...) being unfounded and therefore constitute the crime of false rumours under Article 4 of the Decree from December 28, 1910. (...) pass arrest warrants (...). The defamer is contested by saying that if he is accused of spreading rumours, it is due not only to the little culture of the audience that heard him, but also to the fever to render services to the Republic (...) making it so that in each priest an enemy would be seen.

1915-12-10, ORDINARY PROCEEDINGS

Ordinary proceedings on account of the will. The plaintiff is Dª Maria Celestina Alves Machado and defendants are princess Dª Isabel de Bragança, Countess of Eu (princess of Brazil) and her husband the Count of Eu and others, and also the executors Joaquim Pinto da Fonseca, Estêvão Torres and Baron de Castro Silva. The purpose of the suit is to annul the last will and testament made by her father, Count Alves Machado, which gains force because on December 13, 1913, at the age of 91, he became a naturalized Brazilian citizen “with the intention and will, on changing nationality, to testify by disinheriting the plaintiff, his daughter“. On November 30, 1916, the plaintiff withdraws from the action by term of court settlement in the inventory “on my father's death and to put an end to all pending matters in which I am plaintiff or defendant, relating to my late father's estate“.
