Letter from John Christian, First Deemster of the Isle of Man, to an unnamed recipient (possibly Henry Hobhouse at the Home Office) describing a trial for libel brought against him by W. Roper following Roper's readmission to the Manx bar. Christian details allegations of perjury, corruption, and political malice, and appeals for intervention from the Home Secretary (Peel). The letter provides insight into post-1765 Manx judicial politics and tensions between local officials.
