- Biography
- Owner of the Isle of Man Times, picked up Robert Fargher's reform cause in the 1860s. He reported on Keys proceedings. The Keys objected. Brown was summoned before the House and refused to apologise. Governor Henry Loch, watching the confrontation between a newspaper editor and a self-perpetuating legislature, drew the conclusion that Fargher had drawn thirty years before: there could be no responsible government while the Keys remained unelected.
