Source
26 July 1759

A petition from George Moore on behalf of Peeltown inhabitants to James Duke of Atholl requesting intervention in harbour improvement works at Peel. The document details obstacles encountered in the Tynwald court regarding funding for harbour construction under existing legislation (acts of 1734, 1739, 1753), with 200+ signatures appended. Reflects local economic concerns, administrative processes under the Duke's sovereignty, and tensions between Tynwald and harbour supervisors.
