The Mona's Herald was a Manx newspaper founded by Robert Fargher in 1833. It was the vehicle for Fargher's thirty-year campaign for a democratically elected House of Keys, publishing what the self-elected House did in its secretive proceedings. The Keys responded by bringing libel action, and Fargher was imprisoned for his reporting.
