A State Paper from the Office of Scotland (5 Jas I) addressing a petition by the Earl of Derby and co-heirs regarding their claim to the Isle of Man. The letter, from Privy Council members to Lord Chief Justice Popham and senior judges, requests legal examination of patents and defects in title following Queen Elizabeth I's assumption of sovereignty.
