1589. Carta de Paulo Gomes de Lemos, oficial de justiça, para Sebastião Barbosa, desembargador da Coroa.

Author(s) Paulo Gomes de Lemos      
Addressee(s) Sebastião Barbosa      
In English

Private letter from Paulo Gomes de Lemos, a bailiff, to Sebastião Barbosa, judge of the High Court.

The author reports a court procedure and says he is available to execute other services

Diogo Castanho, a New-Christian resident in Vila Viçosa, was mentioned in several proceedings, charged for Judaism. In 1589, the Court of the Holy Office ordered the judge of the High Court, Sebastião Barbosa, to arrest Diogo Castanho and his current wife, Inês da Costa, both now living in Abrantes, Diogo Castanho's hometown. Among the documents gathered during Diogo Castanho's arrest, several family letters were found and were considered of interest to the case. Other documents were also considered relevant to the proceedings: the taking of evidences on his arrest in Évora and an exposure to the judge of the High Court, written by the official who arrested the couple. Diogo Castanho was arrested that same year, in Évora, where the preparatory inquiry took place.
