The Inquisition of Portugal continued active. For the years 1721 to 1794, the last recorded, the statistics are (Historia dos principaes Actos, pp. 280-91, 306-11, 332-9):—
| Relaxed | |||
| In person. | In effigy. | Penanced. | |
| Lisbon | 131 | 17 | 1543 |
| Evora | 8 | 3 | 735 |
| Coimbra | 1210 | ||

In this the superior energy and ferocity of the Lisbon tribunal is noteworthy; it relaxed no less than 66 persons in the years 1732-42. The last burning was of the unfortunate Padre Malagrida, in 1761 but, as late as 1760, Evora burnt four culprits.
