Charles Lutwidge

Person

Charles Lutwidge (1722-1784) was a Cumberland magistrate and customs official appointed by the Lords of the Treasury to implement the anti-smuggling laws that accompanied the 1765 Revestment of the Isle of Man. He wielded almost unchecked influence on Treasury policy in the Island for several years after the Revestment, and Lieutenant-Governor Smith described his impunity as a "Curse to the Isle of Man."
