Another passageway also put the palace in direct communication with what had been the town hall and jail, where escorts and court servants were installed. But this could not accommodate all the new Portuguese arrivals, and many people failed to find lodgings. Rio had no infrastructure for absorbing such a sudden change. A Royal Lodgings Decree became the means by which a gentleman, by the sovereign’s favor, could requisition any house he pleased: when the decree was invoked the letters PR (Prince Regent) were written in chalk on the door of the chosen house, which Rio people translated as Ponha-se na Rua (Into the street with you).
