- Charles Lutwidge's Report on Smuggling from Isle of Man and Duke of Atholl's Revenue
- Description
- Official report from Charles Lutwidge to unnamed Parliamentary honours (likely Treasury or Customs commissioners) detailing the scale and methods of smuggling operations from the Isle of Man, the goods involved, duty rates under the Duke of Atholl's proprietorship, and estimated revenue losses to the Crown. Lutwidge estimates the Duke's annual revenue at £7,500, with £6,500 derived from duties on foreign goods smuggled via the island. The report identifies specific smuggling routes, ports, commodities (particularly tea, brandy, tobacco, and East India goods), and fraudulent practices including false coast-clearances and drawback frauds.
