Custom House Report on Revenue & Trade Proposals for Isle of Man, 1767
Source
24 January 1767
A formal report from Custom House officers (Pelham, Mead, Musgrave, Hooper) to the Treasury recommending full annexation of the Isle of Man to the Kingdom as part of Cumberland, rather than adopting separate regulatory proposals. The report argues that annexation would be the most effective way to prevent smuggling revival and secure revenue, and situates this within the context of the 1764 purchase of sovereignty.
