This is a petition or memorial (page 7) addressed to an authority (possibly the Lieutenant Governor or other official) discussing the nature of quit rents and land tenures in the Isle of Man. The memorialists argue that the extent of the Duke of Atholl's (His Grace's) involvement in land holdings has been misrepresented, and clarify that not all land proprietors hold directly of the Duke. The document outlines five separate manors or baronies on the island.
