fol. 42 Seven or eight years ago, in the city of Oporto, on a day I cannot remember, nor the month, he was at the house of Bras Gomes, New Christian, surgeon, absent, resident in Lisbon, single, son of master Manuel, already dead, and he does not know in which part of that city he lives. He was in his office with him, and with Tristão Rodrigues Vila Real, New Christian, merchant who went bankrupt in the city of Oporto and three years ago embarked to Flanders according to what he heard; and Simão Ribeiro, mercer, already dead, son of Panteleão Ribeiro, merchant. Being together the four of them, a woman farmer from outside of the city brought two rabbits to the said Bras Gomes, which she brought because he had treated a wound in the hand of her husband. When the woman was gone, the confitent and the others asked the said Bras Gomes whether he ate from those goods, and he replied that he did not but rather had them sold out, and on this occasion, they disclosed […]

fol. 31v.
10 He will prove that Henrique Sinel, Flemish, resident in the city of Oporto was a trader and a merchant there, and that he made insurances on carracks and ships be contracted outside the Kingdom. He [the defendant] had the same trade, receiving many merchandise from outside the Kingdom, and prospering. The said Henrique Sinel seemed to resent that. Once, the defendant had a signed posted on the corner of the Rua Nova [main business street] saying that anyone who would like to have an insurance done should go to his place and he would have them done. When the said Henrique Sinel learned about that, moved by hatred and jealousy, he wrote under it that he should provide guarantees that he would not run away, mocking about the fact that he [the defendant] belonged to the [Jewish] Nation, to what he replied
fol. 32 to the people who read the said inscription, that he was not a heretic as a partner of the said Henrique Sinel, named Antonio Schot, about which he got very offended and became his enemy […]

Since he had and showed none, he did not pay, about what the said Manuel de Andrade got very irritated with him, the defendant, and said that he already knew him [the defendant] as a thief, who wanted to maliciously default [or, go bankrupt and run away], and many other similar words […]
fol. 56v.
23 He will prove that Paulo Mendes de Carvalho, and his wife Antonia de Freire, and his brothers and cousins are very suspicious against him, the defendant, because owing the said Paulo Mendes 480,000 réis to him in a bill, the defendant sued him before the royal judge of the city of Oporto (juiz de fora), and after a sentence against him being passed, the judge confiscated a villa and the movable properties therein, which he [the defendant] won in the auction […]
fol. 57
25 He will prove that João Rodrigues Vila Real, his wife and children, and João Rodrigues, his son in law, are all very suspicious against him the defendant, because five years ago, more or less, owing the said João Rodrigues [Vila Real] to him 180,000 réis, the defendant had him summoned for that; and because the said João Rodrigues complained against that saying words against him the defendant, the defendant swore that he would charge all he could from him and he would not enter again in his account book; since some people asked the defendant not to destroy the said João Rodrigues but rather wait for some while, the defendant did so as long as someone else would pay to him because he would neither trade again with the said João Rodrigues nor would he enter his account book. Thus, he was given a bill from his son in law João Rodrigues [Preto], which he paid later under threat from the court, complaining about what the defendant had done to his father in law, being the cause of his absence, leaving for Brazil, and he [João Rodrigues Preto] having to pay the debt, or most of it. Because of all that, their testimonies should not harm the defendant.

He did not know whether for the same reason the defendant stop speaking to his relatives [Paulo’s] as well.

Diogo Carneiro e Ana Calvos tinham 8,000 r’s de foro e pensão que Manuel Pinto lhes pagava das casas em que vivia; esta pensão puseram num prazo que fizeram a Paulo de Carvalho em relação a umas casas deles, das quais se paga 1 tostão, para sempre, à câmara do Porto. Este Paulo de Carvalho derrubou estas casas para as juntar a uns chãos e pardieiros na esquina da R. de S. Miguel e R. que vai para as taipas, no qual local ergueu as casa sem que agora vive Manuel Pinto e a sua mulher. Estas casas possui agora Manuel Pinto por uma carta de arrematação dessas casas feita em 1615. Estando assim na posse das casas, paga de foro anual os sobreditos montantes. Neste seguimento, Diogo Carneiro e Ana de Calvos vendem-lhe esta pensão e foro no valor de 128,000 r’s […]
