History

Neves (Dr. Cassiano das)

He was a lawyer in the city of Lamego when in 1877 he published in Porto a pamphlet entitled 'A sepultura Eclesiástica e os Suicidas', which deals with the denial of burial in the Angustias cemetery in Funchal to an individual who committed suicide in this city on March 4, 1877. It is a passionate defense of the diocesan prelate D. Manuel Agostinho Barreto. (See vol. I, p. 71 and 130).
