Provincial Law no. 1 required registration of enslaved people entering São Paulo and set a two-contos fee, with exceptions including some agricultural owners and up to three domestic servants. The law sought to deter internal slave trading as abolitionist pressure grew, while its exemptions preserved pathways for plantation and household use. It also shows the state pricing and regulating the forced movement of people between provinces, often separating families.
