Account of Proceedings in the Court of Exchequer concerning Tea Seizure — 1765

Source
5 December 1765

Charles Lutwidge's detailed letter to the Treasury Commissioners describing the failed prosecution of a tea seizure case in the Isle of Man Court of Exchequer. The letter documents procedural disputes over jury trial rights, the claimant David Angus's appeal to the Privy Council, and Lutwidge's critique of how these proceedings undermined revenue enforcement. Highly relevant to understanding post-Revestment judicial authority and smuggling enforcement challenges.
