Keys' Resolution of March 1765

Description

The House of Keys passed a formal resolution opposing the sale of the Island. The signatories recorded their opposition 'as much as in them lies.' Hugh Cosnahan carried the deputation to London. George Quayle would later write that they had 'silenced the neighbours but could not silence me.' Parliament received the petition and ignored it.
