A petition submitted to the House of Keys by a printer/journalist regarding a libel prosecution arising from the publication of an advertisement in December 1826. The memorialist details his role as a public journalist, the circumstances of the disputed advertisement involving two clergymen (Rev John Tithen and the late Rev John Christian), and his unsuccessful appeal to reverse the verdict awarding damages of fifty pounds plus costs.
A petition excerpt (page 28) in which memorialists justify their resistance to invasion and defend expenditures incurred during a national defence effort.

A petition from Memorialists addressing the House of Keys regarding a printed Case concerning compensation to the Duke of Atholl for the sale of sovereign rights over the Isle of Man. The document argues against objections to the Duke's claims and expresses confidence in Parliament's stewardship of Isle revenues, while advocating for continued improvements to fisheries, manufactures, and public infrastructure.
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from 'Michael Brooghs' by CH Cowley.
The description would appear to suggest that the findspot was towards the northern end of the coastline forming the edge of the parish. On another occasion Cowley recovered finds from Orrisdale Head (see PRN 3377), and the grid reference provided refers to the coastline in this area as it was at the time of his discoveries.
The antiquary Charles Harry Cowley was an avid collector of worked flint and coarse stone artefacts revealed by agricultural activity, mainly on farms located around Peel, and occasionally from further afield. He was active from 1900 until 1943. His entire collection of artefacts, together with a daybook cataloguing his discoveries, was later donated to Manx National Heritage.

Plaque of Sicilian marble, in a hendecagon (eleven sided) shape. Affixed to an interior west facing wall of St Michael's Church. The plaque is bordered all round by an interlaced Celtic pattern, inside which the names of the fallen men have been inscribed. At a later date, three plaques have been affixed to the wall underneath the original plaque, to commemorate those who fell in the Seond World War.
The memorial was unveiled on Easter Monday 17 April 1922 by the Lieutenant Governor Major General Sir William Fry KCVO CB. It was dedicated by the Lord Bishop, the Rev. James Denton Thompson and was sponsored by public subcription. The memorial to commemorate those who gave their lives in the Second World War was unveiled on Sunday 23 May 1948 at 6.30pm. The memorial was designed by Mr Archibald Knox and sculpted by Thomas H. Royston of 12 Peel Road, Douglas.
An early medieval broken cross slab, with a Latin cross inscribed on one face. It measures 167.5 centimetres x 33 centimetres x 19 centimetres and is kept at Braddan church. A cast is kept at the Manx Museum. It is thought to be pre-Scandanavian in date and is numbered as Manx Cross No 65.
The findspot of an early medieval cross slab, which has a Latin cross incised on one face. The slab is said to have been found at or near this location, which is thought to signify that there was an early medieval keeill or chapel, here. The site is now a pasture field with no obvious surface evidence of any features.
The history of the cross-slab is lost but Kermode was allowed to move it to Braddan Church (circa 1918) with consent of the then owner, Mrs Moffatt. It remains in the church today.
This broken slab was found on Middle Farm and the farmer set it up in a field (IOMHER 0706.00) south of the farmstead, though apparently there is no surviving tradition of a burial ground at this location. It was moved to the church c.1918. The heavily weathered slab bears a simple carved cross. Above and below the slab has been cut away to create the illusion of a roughly circular ring around the cross. The spaces between the limbs, and the terminals of the upper and lower arms, contain small cup-shaped hollows.
This is thought to be the site of an early medieval keeill or chapel, which would have been in use during the period circa AD500 to AD1000. The site is now a pasture field with no obvious surface evidence of any features.
There appears to be no memory of a keeill on this farm but an early cross-slab (PRN 0706.20) was found here and is said to have come from a keeill at or near to the site. The history of the cross-slab is lost but Kermode was allowed to move it to Braddan Church (circa 1918) with consent of the then owner, Mrs Moffatt. It remains in the church today.
