Fragment of a petition (page 5) from Manx petitioners expressing submission to Crown authority while defending their ancient hereditary rights and revenues. The petitioners invoke Parliament's attention to civil rights and property, and express concern about a pending bill to prevent illicit trade to and from the Isle of Man, which they fear will diminish their valuable privileges and advantages.
