Mr Lutwidge's Second Report on Smuggling Trade from the Isle of Man

Source
26 November 1764

Charles Lutwidge reports to Treasury officials on suppression of East India goods smuggling and brandy/rum imports to the Isle of Man. He describes impacts of naval patrols by sloops of war and cutters, notes counter-orders preventing merchant vessels from delivering contraband, and recommends adding rum to enumerated commodities. This is a key intelligence document on the effectiveness of revenue enforcement measures in 1764.
