Source
17 November 1835

Letter from James Clarke, Attorney General of the Isle of Man, to Lord John Russell (Home Secretary) discussing the post-Revestment governance of the Island. Clarke reflects on the decline of the Keys' influence, the need for judicial reform, the appointment of a new Commission of Magistrates, and recommends the continuation of military governors with non-resident judges. Written 70 years after the 1765 Revestment, this document provides insight into the constitutional and administrative aftermath.
