Lutwidge requests Treasury approval for revenue equipment at Isle of Man ports
Source
22 June 1767
Charles Lutwidge, likely the Lieutenant Governor or chief revenue officer, requests Treasury approval to purchase weights, scales, measures, and gauging instruments for revenue officers at each port in the Isle of Man, and asks that the London Gazette be sent to Douglas Customhouse to publish advertisements relating to the suppression of illicit trade. This document reflects post-Revestment efforts to establish proper customs infrastructure and enforce anti-smuggling legislation.
