LETTER knon MESSRS. BRIDSOisr AND
TO MESSRS.. EDWARD mopßt, EDWARD FORBES,•
AND WILLIAM OATES, Or DOUGLAS, IN THE ISLE
Or MAN.

London, May 21, 180.5.

GENTLEMEN,
• Considering you, jointly with ourselves, as. re-
presenting a large and respe&able body of the In-
habitants of the Isla, of Man, we, think it our duty
to state to you, for their information, what has
fallen under our notice since we left the Island, re-
lative to the obje&'of our Mission.
.Upon tur arrival here we-took steps to present
our Petition to Parliament against the Proceedings
of the Keys : but as the question in dependence,
is between. the -Crown and the Duke of ATHOLL,
our own opinion, that neither the. Keys nor the
People have any right to interfere, was, confirmed ;
and therefore 'it is at present our intention, merely
to watch the Bill, with the view of deriving from
it, for our Constituents, some of the advantages that
may be suggested.
But if the Agents of the Keys should put for-
ward the Memorial which they announced in the
Island by their hand-bills, we shall think it our duty
to, lay before Parliament a Petition; with the Re- •
monstrances of the respeaable body who have con-
fided to us the care of their interests, which are
inseparable from those of the Island at large.
Little or no progress ,has been yet made in the
Bill ; but we have reason to hope-that our journey
will' produce some good to the Island, whatever may
be' the result of the contention into which the Keys
have chosen. to involve themselves. We are, at
least, satisfied that we shall have cordial aid from
that quarter where: the general good of 'the Inha-
bitants ha.ialways appeared to be at heart.
We believe, however, that that objeta.would be
accomplished with more facility and dispatch if
the Duke of kritou, were not harassed with a"
worse than uselesS opposition, from . a body who,
in duty to their Countrymen, if they could not
support, ought certainly not to oppose, his fair
Claims, deeply connected :as they are with the• ad-
vancement of the prosperity of the Island. •
Though the Keys did. not receive the represen-
tations Which our Committee offered to them from
our Constituents, it is impossible they could be
ignorant of the sentiments of disapprobation ex-
pressed in these remonstrances
We did, hope, therefore, that the united voice
of the great body of the most rezpeaable classes of
the People, for whom we a6t-whom they area
to represent7-and who pay by far the puler part'
Vail the Duties, would have had some weight with
the Keys. ,
On the contrary, hOwever, we are concerned to'
find,- that, in continuation of the embroilment. in
which certain of
,these persons haVe kept the Island
for many years, a Pamphlet has since been .pub
lished, signed by. their Agents, in which they :la-
ther a preceding .anonymous production, not mere-
ly adverse 'to the Claiths of his Grace of ATHOLL,- .
but in their tendency, injurious in the extrenae; to,
the interests of the Island.

This consideration obliges is to take notice, of.
some parts of these Publications. We shall.do so
with possible brevity. .
After every consideration of the subjea., we are
unable to account,. on any ostensible , grounds, for
the condigt of the Keys and their Agents.
We know not any right they have to interfere :,--
certainly none to use the name .of the. People; a very
great majority of whom, if it depended on their
voices,, we are confident, would 'give them against
the Keys; as such,. to whom they owe nothing, and
for the,Duke,l to such,,
they owe much.
We peremptorily deny, that his Grace has ever
been hostile to the inhabitants.

On tlie contrary, we assert, that he has
_been, on
all occasiOns, the warm—the active--and the only
powerful friend of the Island. • •

- We know the inhabitants, at large are grateful
to him.

The Keys,. being self-eleaed, can only speak for
themselves, not)* the' People.
We conceive _they. ought rather to have joined in
endeavouring to 'point out any additional advantages
that might reasonaOly be eipeeted for the Island,
than to attempt to throw a stumbling block in the
'way of the'oxl,Y tki,tx Who has either the means, or
who^hers manifested tl;e_kzelin4tio.n, to serve it.

We think It extraordinary, that the Duke's power
to levy fresh. duties prior to the revestment .should
be denied or doubted. The, British Parliament does
it, withopt 6.:nsulting the:Keys ; yet the Parliament
has up..power that did not flow from the Duke's fa-
mily," in coniequence of what is called the Sale.
It *was well known in the Island, and every where
else, that the Sale was against the grain.,
Did' not Regiments of Dragoons.being sent to take
possession, give it rather the aspen of conquest, than
of a placid agreement ? .
The Insular Revelpes, under a proper system,
would have grad=lry improved front the beginning,
as well before the revestment as since.
This is as certain, as that the .'atize canes produce
the same eireßs.
The value of Royalties, and of Sovereign Power,
is beyond the sphere of our conceptions.
Some of the Germain Princes, perhaps, or of our
highest order of Peers, would have been the most
suitible Jury.
But as Men of business, we should consider
70,0001. to be totally inadequate to the purchase of
tin improveable estate of 60001. which has since
risen to a. gross rental 0f,12.,0001. a year.
The Agents of the 'Keys complain, in e&a, of
the benefits the island has derived from the Conso-
lidated Revenues of the Empire, through the repre-
sentation of the Duke of ATROLL, and the wisdom
of Parliament, in Public Buildings, Military De-
fence, &c. _ _ _

It is dangerous to the interests of our Island, to
hold out the erroneous idea, that.expences incurred
for the benefit of Empire at Jorge should be pay-
able by the Isle of Man:

liti:merly the Inhablt,-. its we're I:.:*thle t, Military
Service—to be c3lledoltt by the Captains of Parishes,
and to arm thernseivei chietly at their ()Wit espence.
This law has not been repealed, and might still be
enforced.

The Militia la now paid by the Nation aL large.
Be it, that this is a cause of complaint against the
Duke—We have no Warne of the kind to impute to
the Keys.
We are under no very great obligations to them,
for any favours done to the Island.
Unless we make our bow:i` for their haVing at=
tempted to saddle the inhabitants with a yearly tax
of about 40001. including 800 guineas for 400 fish-
ing boats !! ! •

The Inhabitants have not found the way of being
angry with the bake; for having shielded them from
this dangerous measure.
HE HAS THEIR BLESSINGS FOR IT.
Complaint is made of the decay of rUblit Build-
ings. _

The Duke indeed has reason to complain, that his
Castles or Houses were irregularly taken possession'
of, and have been delapidated.
The possession of these was not necessary to pre-
vent smuggling. .
Do -the. Keys forget; that the Inhabitants were
obliged to perform certain labour,' .at the pleasure of
the Lord, and bqund in carriage services for the
repairs, of his Castles, and ,other Buildings ?
There is no abrogAtion of that Law: the King
may put it in force. Do they wish to lay upon their
Countrymen again those burdens ? •

We cannot tilat regard, as mischievous towards the
Island, charities or suoastions that bear such a
tendency to the general introdu&ion of British Taxa-
tion amongst us as the writings of these Agents of
the Keys do.
We have not lost sight of the impropriety of some
of the• Keys a&ing as Attornies and Pleaders, and
sitting as Keys,
,or Jurymen, in the same 'causes.
The people here did not know that the Keys are
at least as much a Judicial asa Legislative Body, nor
how they stand connefted. •

We cannot give up the hope, that the tine is
not far distant, when, agreeably to the general wish
oc, the Inhabitants expressed to the Commissioners
of Inquiry in 179 f, the Keys will cease to be self-
ele6ted, and cease to sit for life.

They will then begin to represent the. People.
But we are not sure that we can at present urge
these, and other material improvements, essential to
the weal of the Island, as it would more time
to digest the necessary alterations.
We are indebted to the Key-Agents for, the sin-
gular idea, not very respeat'ully put, that though the
Duke does not hold the Sovereignty of the Isle of
Man, he holds a much ,better shuittion, by being
Governor.

In other words—it is better to be a servant than a
king.

•
Any comment applicable to these expressions
would only soften down the aspeEt of their impro-
priety.
We deny that the Inhabitants of the Isle of Man
carried on Wept trade against this Country previous
to the Tevestrnent in 1765.

Do the people. of this Country call themselves
smugglers, when, in time of peace, they pour arti-
cles into Spanish America ? •
• The Grant of the "Isle, of Man laid no restraint--
we were as free, to trade at large as the French or
Dutch, or :lily other foreigners.
Mare just to our predecessors than the Key-
Agents, we-. do therefore give back to whosoever
coined them, the opprobrious epithets of Smugglers,
&c. as far as regarded their•commerce ith this and
other Countries then foreigb to oors..
Great pains are taken, an%; with amazing success,
to prove that the purchase of the Isle of Man ,WZI'S a
losing bargain to the Public. Let us look at the fa 6.4
According to the Report of its own Revenue
Officers, C reat lirtri,3n gains by the. R.:-
I/MUM: the yekly sum of • . X3soosou

itatentent of the AsentE for the Keys, on the refit •
.of Udober, 1784 - • - *169,560

- kg,39?,440
So that Government had then only gained nearly
Bight Millions and a Half, and up to this time no
more than Eighteen Millions' exciwp w.
and exclusive of the Lord's Revenue. Thus are we
ruined—and if Parliament does not see it, the angel
of its perception is obtuse. But there is a gleam of
consolation to a few left behind. The Duke has
lost the. Royalties of his Ancestors for nothing—and
was allowed a very inadequate hum for a large and
increasing Revenue, that might with ease have been
derived from the Island iu the last forty years.
You know as well ague di), that when we can*
away, scarcely a man in the Island had indicated
the least idea of objeating, or of a right to objekt, to
the Duke of Atholl's being allowed such additional
compensation as Parliament might see proper; ,ex-,
ceptmg the. Keys, who, we believe, are by no means
unanituou,s., though the majority carry with them
the signAttirea (lithe rest. The licy-Agents have one .
or two shrewd advisershere. As the inhabitants had
not shewn, any symptoms °Non taneons inclinut ion
to counterad their Benefaaor, who has brouglo.pro•
perty into the Island, a Petition WAS preparaAiret,
in duplicate or triplicate; after our, arrival, and sent
by evrea.for the signatnres of such of th4ople
as could be prevailed upon to affix their names. You
are better acquainted than we can be, at this dist-
ance, with the means used to procure signatures.
If they were told that the Duke wanted to take
from them all their lands and property, we cannot
be surprised that ignorant mid illiterate persons
should be misled. They will be sorry 'when uncle-
beived, Is it possible, that sheets of parchment,
without any Petitions eixed, were sent in circula-
tion for signature ?—that influence was used with
the Volunteers ?---arm that persons who were asked

Though Pe never hatiliberty to witness the l~rp"

Committee of the House Of Commons, tO
the ,Duke' of Atholl's Petition was referred. Mr:
Ctirwen's Speech was very liberd; he admitted.that
the Sale was compulsory-=',and that the

pire, could not have paid him, Mr. Curwen, for the

It is also high time the Public should be explicitly
informed, that, as far, as we.know,,Mr. Curwen,
who has interfered so many years In isle of Man
affairs, has done so principally as a volunteer. We
are certain he never had any general commission, or
authority of interference, from the People at large,

In a former Report We have- noticed the applica-
tion of Mr. Gmiate,.o for a'Mandamus to be dire6ted
to' the Sheriff of Middlesex-, to empannel a Jury for
the purpose of assessing the sum 'the to John Wal.;
ker, for the injury 'he sustained in being 'dispossess-
ed by the London Dock Company of amessuage or
warehouse in the,vicinity of their estabhShment.
&MING on the ,part of the Defendants, re-
sistea the '.Writ. He said, by the 43g and 46„Ge0.-111.

to purchase; by sect. 22, bodies corporate,:&-c. were
enabled to:sell their interest ; atittby sect. a 4, if such
bodies. corporate,: or. individua!4, Nrcinici not agree
for a price with the Company, the latter:were to!.
issue their warrant to the Sheli', to erripannel a-Jury
to assess. the 'damages. The Learned' Counsel
ad-
niitted, that if John Walker could sbew. he possessed,
the smallest nnerest, the Mandamus ought to go -;•-the
Court however would judge of this claim.' On the
28th Of. 'September, 1781, he; had a lease of the pre.
mises for 2t 'years, which expired at Midsummer,
1802. After this date, he was only tenant at will,
and while he had this temporary occupation, the
Doek' Company bought the- estate 'of the 'Proprietor.
Being ,thus purchasers of the. freehold, 'bp. the 24th
December, .180, he had notice from the Dock •
Company (now the freeholders) to quit the follow-
ing Midsummer. Every part of the transadion was.
ther&pre regular; and John Walker had not the
smallest pretence to any interest, or to any perina-.
nest occupation. .
DifessrS. dAanow and GURNEY ,supported the
Mandanum They contended, that had a Jury been
empannelled to determine the value of the freehold,.
they must likeviSe have ascertained the value of tlie
occupation of the tenant, however Short or insigni-
ficant his interest maybe. The mere circimstance.
of the Landlord having sold his freehold to the Dock
Company cbtild noLpreclude this right of, the tenant.
