- Petitions of James Brew & Paul Kelly to Governor Cochrane re George Moore's intack enclosure, February 1759
- Description
- Two petitions and memoranda documenting a dispute over land enclosure near Douglas Fort. Brew and Kelly, contractors hired by Charles Killey to wall an intack belonging to George Moore, seek legal recourse after Governor Cochrane ruled an encroachment had been made on ducal property. The documents reveal tensions between petitioners, the Governor, the Attorney General, and the Deemster, illustrating Manx legal procedure and the vulnerability of property holders to gubernatorial discretion.
