Notes
This is the sixth file in the HO 98 series dealing with the IoM - a thick bound
volume, which can cause some text to be lost in the binding. The pages are unnumbered
- the page number here is the position of the document in the bound volume.
Some documents are enclosed with others - usually noted as [enc].
It is intended more as a finding aid than as full abstracts of each paper.
The dates are ISO standard format year month day;
the key persons are:
Lord Sidmouth
Henry Hobhouse - permanent Under Secretary of State at Home Office
James Clarke - Attorney General
Cornelius Smelt - appointed Lt
Governor in 1805 - remained in post through to death in 1832
Duke of Atholl - 4th Duke, appointed
Govr-in-Chief in 1793 - held post until death in 1830
