- Charles Lutwidge, likely the Lieutenant Governor or chief revenue officer, requests Treasury approval to purchase weights, scales, measures, and gauging instruments for revenue officers at each port in the Isle of Man, and asks that the London Gazette be sent to Douglas Customhouse to publish advertisements relating to the suppression of illicit trade.
