Caesar Parr was a Peel man who publicly accused Charles Lutwidge, the Crown's customs enforcer on the Isle of Man, of being "an Egregious Smuggler" following the 1765 Revestment. Lutwidge sued him for slander, but the case collapsed when Parr prepared his defence. The episode illustrates the tensions between the Island's established community and the new customs regime imposed after the Crown's purchase of the lordship.
