Name

Thomas Moore (deputation)

Biography

One of three men sent to London in late 1765 or early 1766 as the first post-Revestment deputation — alongside Hugh Cosnahan and John Christian. They arrived too late to influence the Mischief Act but achieved one thing: duty-free entry into Britain and Ireland for Manx produce and manufacture. It was not nothing. But it was not what they had gone for.
