Petition regarding composition of Manx Council and ecclesiastical appointments

Source

A petition addressing concerns about the composition of the insular Council, particularly objecting to the admission of ecclesiastical members (Bishop, Vicar-General, Archdeacon) appointed through the Duke of Atholl's influence rather than direct Crown appointment. The petitioners argue this constitutes a breach of proper governance principles established after 1765.
