- Description
- This is a formal petition (page 3) addressing misconceptions about the Duke's (His Grace's) rights and interests in the Isle of Man, and clarifying the island's legislative independence. The memorialists argue that the inhabitants are not tenants to the extent claimed, and that the Legislature has the right to pass laws without the Duke's consent, referencing the island's historical status as a distinct kingdom with its own laws and government.
