- Name
- The Case of the Inhabitants of the Isle of Man – Petition on Rights and Trade Restrictions
- Description
- A detailed petition by the inhabitants of the Isle of Man arguing for restoration of ancient constitutional and commercial rights following the 1765 Revestment. The document traces Manx legal history, parliamentary acts affecting the island's trade (1710–1765), and the severe economic consequences of the 1765 Act restricting commerce. It challenges the legitimacy of Parliament's authority to strip commercial privileges without consent or compensation.
