1824. Carta José Pessoa de Carvalho de Eça, tenente-coronel, para Estevão Ferreira da Cruz, corregedor.

Author(s) José Pessoa de Carvalho de Eça      
Addressee(s) Estevão Ferreira da Cruz      
In English

Letter from José Pessoa de Carvalho de Eça, a lieutenant-coronel, to Estevão Ferreira da Cruz, a magistrate.

The author identifies several imprisoned individuals who are waiting to be transferred from Montemor-o-Velho to Leiria.

These proceedings were opened against a gang of thieves who acted in several places of the reign of Portugal, in fairs, markets, roads and private properties. They robbed merchants, tradesmen and several persons in their homes. The defendants were also accused of beating and murdering some of their victims. Although there were several complainers, the most active one was Rodrigo José dos Santos, a goldsmith who feared that once the defendants were released, they would take revenge from their accusers.
