- Petition regarding Deemster administration and judicial duties on the Isle of Man
- Description
- A petition addressing the Crown regarding the adequacy of the Deemster (judicial officer) system on the Isle of Man. The document discusses the division of administrative and judicial authority between North and South divisions, references the late Deemster Mylrea, and argues that a single Deemster is inadequate for serving the entire island, particularly given geographical challenges such as mountainous terrain. It also touches on currency and coinage rights of the Lords Proprietors.
