Charles Searle's petition for salary increase as Attorney General of Isle of Man
Source
A memorial petition from Charles Searle, Attorney General of the Isle of Man, to the Treasury Lords requesting an increase to his £100 annual salary, citing inadequate compensation for his duties and the declining profitability of legal practice on the island. Undated but contextually placed c.1768–1774, the document illuminates post-Revestment administrative challenges, revenue matters, harbour jurisdiction, and the Crown's assumption of powers previously held by the Duke of Atholl.
