- Memorial of George Moore, Deputy of the Keys, petitioning Treasury for trade relief post-Revestment
- Description
- A petition from George Moore, Deputy of the Keys of the Isle of Man, to the Treasury Lords seeking relief from the severe economic distress caused by post-Revestment trade restrictions. Moore presents a detailed list of 16 requested concessions covering fisheries, linen manufacture, agriculture, and general commerce, arguing that the prohibition and restriction of island trade has devastated inhabitants and property values. This document directly illustrates the economic consequences of the 1765 Act and the islanders' immediate attempts to negotiate exemptions.
