- Governor Wood's complaint on Water Bailiff jurisdiction conflict with Revenue Officers, 1771
- Description
- A batch of official correspondence between Governor John Wood and Treasury officials (via Lord Halifax) concerning the disputed jurisdiction of the Water Bailiff office in the Isle of Man. Wood objects to Charles Lutwidge, as Receiver General, appointing revenue officers as Water Bailiffs, creating confusion between civil and revenue functions. Lutwidge's detailed response defends the historical integration of the Water Bailiff office within the Revenue Department, supported by statutory extracts dating to 1422. Central to post-Revestment governance tensions.
