Lutwidge's arguments for relaxation of trade restrictions on Isle of Man, 1772

Source
8 May 1772

A paper submitted to the Lords of the Treasury by Charles Lutwidge arguing for repeal of a trade clause imposed on the Isle of Man following the 1765 Revestment. Lutwidge contends that the clause was temporary, that strict controls are already in place via Act 7 Geo.3 Cap 45, and that improved customs enforcement makes further restrictions unnecessary. This document reflects post-Revestment administrative tensions over trade regulation.
