Petition regarding alleged defamation and voting rights in House of Keys matter
Source
A petition submitted to authorities (likely the Lord of the Isle) by an individual who served as Steward and Castlain of Derby Fort. The petitioner complains of defamatory accusations by John Quayle (Comptroller) regarding alleged silk smuggling, and disputes Quayle's appeal of a House of Keys judgment in which the petitioner voted against him.
