- Name
- Frankland's Defence of Absence from Isle of Man, April 1813
- Description
- Attorney General Frankland defends his non-residency on the Isle of Man against criticism from the Duke of Atholl, arguing that his legal services are more effective when based in England. The letter addresses constitutional questions about the Attorney General's duties, the legitimacy of absence under the 1696 Act of Tynwald, and the Treasury Warrant of 1808 governing salary conditions. It provides insight into tensions between the Manx ducal interest and the Westminster establishment.
