- Petition for payment of harbour debts under 1770 Act of Parliament
- Description
- A petition to superior authority (likely House of Keys or similar) requesting payment of outstanding debts owed to the petitioners from harbour funds on the Isle of Man. The petitioners allege that commissioners are withholding payment under the pretence of requiring certification that harbours are in sufficient repair, despite substantial sums being collected since the 1770 Act. The petition argues the debts constituted a prior lien on harbour funds and requests both payment and accumulated interest.
