[D. JOSÉ I / D. MARIA I]. TRIBUNAIS ESPECIAIS, DEPÓSITOS E MISERICÓRDIAS — Organização e Competências. 1767–1786. - [D. JOSÉ I / D. MARIA I] TRIBUNAIS ESPECIAIS, DEPÓSITOS E MISERICÓRDIAS — Organização e Competências . 1767–1786. 4 diplomas: 2 Alvarás, 1 Alvará com força de Lei, 1 Decreto. A set of four decrees concerning the organization of special jurisdictions and the regulation of judicial deposits and the assets of the Misericórdias (charitable brotherhoods). These are disparate but complementary matters, all linked to the management and custody of assets and the competence of the bodies responsible for ensuring them. Royal control over private deposits and loans of the Misericórdias was an integral part of Joseph I's policy of financial centralization. December 22, 1767 (King Joseph I) — Declares the Laws of 1751, 1757, and 1759 for the extinction of all private deposits in Lisbon and the Court, reducing them to Public Deposit; consolidation of the state monopoly over the judicial custody of goods. June 22, 1768 (King José I) — Orders the conditions under which the Board of Mercy must lend the funds it administers, requiring the necessary guarantees; determines what should be practiced for the future; royal control over the credit policy of the Mercy of Lisbon. 8 May 1769 (D. José I) — Appointment of President, Deputies, Clerk and Officials for the Board of Dispatch of General Confirmations; determination of the formalities to be observed in the aforementioned Dispatches; organization of the court for the confirmation of donations and privileges. February 15, 1786 (Queen Maria I) — Determines that, in cases where it is impossible to sign personally, letters and decrees from State Secretariats and Courts should be signed with a Royal Seal, with equal validity and authenticity; a procedural adaptation decree for situations where the royal signature is physically impossible. The collection documents various aspects of the organization of judicial and welfare institutions: the centralization of deposits in the Public Depository, the regulation of credit for the Misericórdias (charitable institutions), the establishment of the General Confirmation Board, and the standardization of the royal signature by seal. It is of interest for the study of the institutional and financial history of 18th-century Portugal. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
