This is a detailed financial account submitted by Charles Lutwidge, documenting the subsistence payments (daily allowances) and operational expenses for customs officers and additional staff deployed to the Isle of Man from June 1765 onwards, following the passage of the anti-smuggling Act. The document provides evidence of the immediate administrative implementation of the Revestment and the scale of customs enforcement activity launched to suppress illicit trade.
