| Summary: | This archival document comprises a multi-page petition and administrative record concerning ecclesiastical appointments and fiscal entitlements within the Portuguese colonial administration of Macau, part of the Estado da Índia, dated 1726–1729. It records the appointment of João Freire de Carvalho (also rendered as João Freire Cazal) as Canon, and subsequently as Dean, of the Cathedral Chapter of Macau, confirmed by Bishop Dom António de Almeida on 2 May 1729, following a letter of presentation dated 7 April 1729. The document details his assumption of the dignity of Lord of the Cathedral Chapter, specifying associated proprietary revenue rights—including the *Próprio da Receita*, *Próprio do Pagamento*, *Próprio da Província de Martim*, *Próprio da Telonía*, *Próprio da Ilha do Estado*, *Próprio da Aldeia*, *Próprio da Ilha de Macau*, and *Próprio da Referência Comum*—all drawn from Macau’s colonial fiscal apparatus. It references the office of *armado com misto possuidor*, administrative validation procedures, and formal grievances (*Sempre ofensada*). Seals identify the Governor of the Island of Macau; marginalia and archival marks (M193, M193 AA) indicate provenance and cataloguing. The text reflects the intersection of ecclesiastical hierarchy, royal patronage, and colonial finance in early eighteenth-century Macau. Obs.: Falta a carta de apresentação.
