Governor Wood's complaint on Water Bailiff jurisdiction and Lutwidge's response, 1771 · Revestment 1765

Name: Governor Wood's complaint on Water Bailiff jurisdiction and Lutwidge's response, 1771
Description: A collection of official correspondence between Governor John Wood, Treasury officials, and Charles Lutwidge (Receiver General) concerning the controversial vesting of the Water Bailiff office in revenue officers rather than civil magistrates. Wood argues this creates jurisdictional confusion; Lutwidge defends the historical precedent and necessity for revenue control. Includes supporting documents and statutory extracts from 1422–1711 establishing the Water Bailiff's dual civil-revenue role.
