| description | This archival document, dated March 1762 and originating from Macau, is a sworn declaration made by Tomás Hemmelar before witnesses concerning contested inheritance matters involving the Society of Jesus. The declaration distinguishes Elizabette Mater of the Society of Jesus from the Procurator of the Province of Capel as individuals of different nativity, thereby clarifying their separate legal identities in relation to the estate. Hemmelar asserts that the remaining heirs have taken possession of his estate and states that he has formally referred the matter to the Consul, specifying that payment related to these proceedings has been made by a party he intends to name. The document bears marginal annotation ‘M6’ and is catalogued within the archival series ‘Macau, box 1, document’. As a primary source, it provides direct evidence of ecclesiastical-administrative procedures, inheritance disputes, and jurisdictional interactions between Jesuit institutions and secular consular authorities in mid-eighteenth-century Portuguese Asia. Its provenance, linguistic form, and procedural content make it valuable for scholarly analysis of colonial legal practice, Jesuit governance structures, and cross-cultural property law in the early modern Portuguese empire. Researchers should note its evidential significance for understanding the dissolution of Jesuit assets following the 1759 expulsion decree, though the text itself does not reference that event explicitly. The document is preserved in an unedited, contemporary hand and reflects period-specific terminology, orthography, and legal conventions essential for contextual historical interpretation. Obs.: Autenticada com a assinatura do secretário do Estado da Repartição dos Reinos de Portugal, África e ilhas da Madeira e Açores, Cristóvão Soares. |

[Main Text]
In March 1762, Tomás Hemmelar declared—before witnesses—that the heirs named Elizabette Mater of the Society of Jesus and the Procurator of the Province of Capel were distinct individuals by origin (i.e., of different nativity). He further stated that the remaining heirs had taken possession of my estate, and that I have now placed the matter before the Consul, to whom payment for these matters has been made by the party whom I shall designate.
