Calendar of Home Office Papers HO 98/69 (1818–1820): Isle of Man Administration

Source

A calendar (finding aid) listing 233 documents from the National Archives' Home Office papers HO 98/69, covering the period 1818–1820. The calendar summarises correspondence between key Isle of Man officials (Smelt, Clarke, Hobhouse, Sidmouth) and Westminster, concerning deemster appointments, fees and salaries, House of Keys rebuilding, prison conditions, insolvent debtors, foreign grain imports, and enforcement of customs law. This is the first HO 98 file dealing with the Isle of Man and provides crucial insight into post-Revestment (1765) administrative and constitutional reform efforts.
