Governor and Council Order on Speaker's Application to Convene House of Keys, 1765

Source
28 January 1765

An official order from the Governor and Council of the Isle of Man (28 January 1765) responding to Speaker George Moore's request to convene the House of Keys during a period of constitutional uncertainty. The order defers to the Lord of the Isle (Duke of Atholl) before permitting Keys proceedings, reflecting the pre-Revestment constitutional hierarchy and the Governor's subordination to the Duke's authority.
