A 1610 petition from the Bishop of Sodor and Man (Phillips) to the Earl of Salisbury, complaining of his dispossession of turfbog rights (Turfebery) by the Lieutenant of the Isle of Man (Mr Ireland), and requesting permission to travel to England. The document illustrates early 17th-century ecclesiastical-administrative conflicts on the Isle and provides context for property rights and governance structures predating the 1765 Revestment.
