| Summary: | This document is a manuscript administrative memorandum, dated 3 February 1656 in Lisbon, concerning a petition submitted to the Portuguese Crown regarding Dom Sebastião Lobo, former governor of Maranhão. The text records the intervention of an unnamed informant, who advises that a grievance brought by an aggrieved party through a procurator should be referred to Doctor Diogo Mancado Fernandes Cosme for further information. The petitioner had requested that accounts taken from the Núncio relating to Dom Sebastião Lobo’s administration of his Brotherhood during his governorship be produced, and that he be heard on them. The memorandum notes that the petitioner claimed all papers and documents compiled against Dom Sebastião Lobo, previously removed from Doctor Diogo Mancado Fernandes Cosme, had been taken, and that dismissal of the petition would prevent him from providing information. The document bears the archival stamp of the Arquivo Histórico Colonial do Brasil and the mark of the Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino, and is signed by Comendador Dom António Camargo. This item offers researchers evidence of mid-seventeenth-century colonial administrative procedure, petitioning practices, and the mechanisms of accountability applied to former governors of the State of Maranhão. |
