Transcription
Early life
He completed law in University of Coimbra at the age of 20 and practiced it before becoming a magistrate.
Career
In 1893, during the financial, social and political crisis that preceded the Lisbon Regicide and the 5 October 1910 revolution the Kingdom Minister João Franco made him a judge with enhanced powers to help maintain the monarchy.
He specially watched the press, republican activities and anarchists. In name of public order, he censored the anti-royal press, but most of his victims were found innocent specially because the attorney-general was the republican and Freemason Trindade Coelho.
Targeted by the press, he was caricatured with a police uniform and the blue pencil of censorship.
