Scope and content
The case document commences with copies of bandi forbidding the export of food, governing its collection and prohibiting the production of biscotti without licence. A case against the Gozitan Notary Mario Pontremoli is transferred to the Magna Curia Castellania, since the judge of the Curia Gubernatorialis was his relative and so had to recuse himself. It is reported by witnesses that the Jurat Giovanni Maria Cumbo had approached Pontremoli as notary of the Universita, and asked him to report on the collection of owed money since some debtors who had paid might still have been incarcerated for the satisfied debts, in answer to which Pontremoli refused and the matter turned to violence, with blows exchanged between the parties. Notary Fabrizio Figeni of Siggiewi reports that Pontremoli had also received money from Giovanni Paulo Camilleri on behalf of the judge of the Curia Gubernatorialis as a deposit of some sort in relation to a case ongoing in Gozo. It is also reported that Pontremoli was selling grain from the public warehouse, claiming that he had the sanction of the jurats, which was not so. Pontremoli is arraigned on accusations of abuse of power and corruption. Includes a missive from the Grandmaster outlining the administration of the island of Gozo and its military operations. No sentence included.
