Letter from P J Heywood (Lieutenant Governor's representative) to William Adam seeking intelligence on the status of a Tynwald Act concerning the Duke of Atholl's manorial rights. The bill, originated by the House of Keys in 1781 and submitted to the Secretary of State, has been stalled by the Duke's caveat and is now under review by the Attorney General. Heywood expresses concern that the bill would undermine ducal property rights and fears it could obstruct the Duke's intended operations.
