[D. JOSÉ I]. CORREIÇÃO, DEVASSAS E JUÍZO DOS ORFÃOS — Audiências, Inquirições e Provimento dos Oficiais. 1750–1759. - [D. JOSÉ I] CORREIÇÃO, DEVASSAS E JUÍZO DOS ORFÃOS — Audiências, Inquirições e Provimento dos Oficiais . 1750–1759. 5 diplomas régios: 3 Leis, 1 Alvará de Lei, 1 Alvará com força de Lei A set of five decrees regulating the correction—periodic inspections of municipalities and courts—, general investigations, and the Orphans' Court, fundamental institutions of the administration of justice in Portugal during the Old Regime. The beginning of the reign of King José I was marked by intense legislative activity aimed at codifying and standardizing judicial practice, reforming procedures inherited from the Ordinances and correcting abuses that practice had introduced. August 29, 1750 (King Joseph I) — Prohibits the admission of appeals, grievances, or other judicial means against incidents resulting from extrajudicial information and preparatory acts issued by the Courts to Ministers; in the final rulings, the parties may use the remedy that the Law provides for them. December 10, 1750 (King José I) — Orders that the general investigations of the month of January inquire into the damages caused by ”damninhos and formigueiros” (small fires and ant hills); adds a chapter to the investigations of the Corregidores and Ouvidores, in the manner declared. December 12, 1750 (King Joseph I) — Orders that the Magistrates and Auditors with the power to conduct Inspections inquire into the conduct of the perpetual Judges of Orphans and their officials, and of the Judges of Orphans from Outside the Courts, in the years in which there is an Inspection. February 5, 1756 (D. José I) — Declares and orders the correct and invariable manner and form that the Magistrates and Auditors of the Districts must practice in the Chancery Hearings; codification of the formalities of the inspection. June 26, 1759 (King Joseph I) — Establishes the procedure for the Orphans' Court; determines the salaries of its Officials, Partitioners, and Appraisers; eliminates abuses and disorders in said Courts; comprehensive reform of the guardianship of minors and administration of inheritances. The collection documents three complementary aspects of local judicial administration: the regulation of periodic inspections (corrections), the discipline of generic criminal investigations (general investigations), and the reform of the court responsible for the protection of minors and the administration of their assets (Orphans' Court).
