José de Saldanha was accused of bigamy, having married in Brazil with D. Ana Joaquina Tomásia while is first wife, D. Mariana Efigénia da Fonseca Pereira, was still alive, living in Lisbon. The defendant argued that he did not knew about his marriage with Mariana Efigénia. According to him, she misused some letters of attorney to get married to him without his consent.
