Source
6 July 1769

This is a detailed Treasury account documenting salaries paid to civil and revenue officers in the Isle of Man from 5 July 1767 (when the Revestment Act commenced) to 5 July 1769. It includes quarterly revenue receipts from imports at the four main ports (Douglas, Darby Haven, Peel, Ramsay), arrears of salaries owed to the Governor and civil officers, and specific payments to Charles Lutwidge for his roles as Surveyor General and Water Bailiff. The document provides crucial financial evidence of how the newly acquired island was administered and funded during the immediate post-Revestment period.
