This is page 2 of a petition to authorities concerning disputes over manorial and Crown rights on the Isle of Man. It references oaths to maintain ancient laws, an Act of Parliament re-vesting rights to the Crown from the Stanley family (via the Duchess of Athol), and the Duke of Athol's subsequent claims that were resisted by the House of Keys. It mentions a commission of enquiry sent in 1791 under Lord Melville.
