[D. JOSÉ I]. OFÍCIOS DE JUSTIÇA — Provimento, Ordenados e Emolumentos. 1750–1771. - [D. JOSÉ I] OFÍCIOS DE JUSTIÇA — Provimento, Ordenados e Emolumentos . 1750–1771. 5 diplomas régios: 1 Carta de Lei, 2 Alvarás de Lei, 1 Alvará, 1 Alvará com força de Lei. A set of five decrees concerning the appointment to judicial offices and the regulation of salaries and emoluments of learned ministers. The hereditary nature of judicial offices, the salaries of overseas magistrates, and the fee schedule for Criminal Magistrates were matters of great institutional sensitivity, directly linked to the quality and independence of the magistrates who administered justice in the name of the king. 8 Jan 1750 (D. José I) — Increases the salaries and emoluments of the Judges of the Palace, of the House of Porto, Magistrates, Providers, Auditors and other Learned Ministers of the Kingdom; reforms some abuses; founding decree of the salary scale for the magistrates of Joseph I. July 24, 1753 (King Joseph I) — Orders full compliance with the Decree of November 23, 1612, which stipulates that the owners of the Offices of Justice serve personally and that Ministers and Judges not provide services beyond the time permitted by the Ordinance. 31 Jan 1759 (D. José I) — Declares the salaries, subscriptions, bonuses and allowances that should be paid to Auditors, Judges and other Officials in the American Domains, in the coastal and inland districts, except for the Mines; table of salaries for the colonial magistracy. June 26, 1760 (D. José I) — Establishes the fees to be charged by the Magistrates, Judges, and Clerks of Criminal Courts for verbal proceedings and diligences ordered in the Law of the Police of the Court and the Kingdom; fee schedule for the new police magistracy. 8 Jan 1771 (D. José I) — Declares abusive and erroneous the alleged customary law by which the offices of justice and finance passed hereditarily from parents to children, outlawing it; a fundamental decree breaking with the hereditary nature of the offices of administration of justice. The collection covers the full spectrum of Joseph I's policies regarding judicial offices: updating salaries, requiring personal practice, establishing salary scales for the colonial magistracy, and abolishing hereditary appointments—a reform aimed at making these offices instruments of the State and not family patrimony. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
