- Description
- A detailed administrative report from 1702 examining the tenancy rights and title to the estate of Knockaloe on the Isle of Man, following an order from the Lord (dated 24 September 1702). The report documents a complex land dispute spanning decades between Silvester Cross (claiming tenancy by right of heir) and Thomas Harrison (in possession under a lease from the Earl of Derby). The case illustrates Manx customary law regarding tenant right, widow's rights, succession, and the authority of the Lords of Man over land tenure.
