Memorial of the Keys of Mann to Governor John Wood, 1771
Source
4 February 1771
A petition from the Keys of Mann (Manx legislature) to Governor John Wood, forwarding a memorial to the Crown regarding the economic distress of the Isle of Man. The Keys complain of restrictions on commerce, fishing, and export under recent Acts of Parliament, economic decline, emigration, and request relief comparable to that granted to Guernsey and Jersey. This document reflects post-Revestment grievances and demonstrates the impact of British commercial restrictions on the Manx economy.
