B.Cochrane Commission as Governor, (Copy) Salary to be £200 per annum. |
| AP_X26_2 |
8.1.1761
|
Gov. Cochrane to Duke. Mr. G.,Moore in order "to make the world believe he was a very great man" ordered the Keys to meet and got them to sign an address to the King,which he proposes to take to London himself.So Cochrane,lest the Government should wonder why the address did not come through the usual channels,has written to Lord Mansfield (see under) Mr.Moore is at no rest night nor day. He has quarrelled with his family and his neighbours,and everyone about him, "I really believe he will soon be as mad as he was some years ago". |
| AP_X26_3 |
8.1.1761
|
Gov. Cochrane to Ld.Mansfield. The Keys have no right to assemble unless called together by the Lord or Governor. Mr.G.Moore,their "chairman or foreman" having called them together on his own authority asked them to sign an address to the King. The legality of the meeting being questioned he was not able to get a majority . So he took the address to them at their private houses and got his signatures in that way. An address of this nature being without precedent he did not himself care to take action in such a delicate matter until he could get instructions from the Duke. (copy) + 29.12.1760 Gov. Cochrane to Mr.Secretary Pitt. (copy) As above [AP_X26_3],but differently worded. Says that the Keys met in an ale-house. There is no question of the Islands loyalty,but as to whether the Keys have the official right to express it. If an address is in order "I,who have served under His Majesty's Royal Grandfather,and Great-Grandfather many years in the Army,would in duty and gratitude promote anything of the nature". |
| AP_X26_4 |
29.12.1760
|
G.Moore to Gov. Cochrane. (copy) saying he has called the Keys together to address the King upon his accession. + 7.1.1761 saying he is himself taking the address to London,but will inform the Duke before he delivers it and,if he is in London,ask his assistance. (copy) |
| AP_X26_5 |
9.1.1761
|
G.Moore to Duke. with a copy of the Keys Address and of his two letters (see above) to the Governor. As the Duke will not be in London to present it,Moore with Mr. W.Murray are going to London to do it,and he asks his advice as to the proper procedure, The Keys were not invited to Castletown when the King's accession was proclaimed there,and many people think they should have been present officially and that the proclamation should have been at St.Johns and likewise in the other towns of the Island, That this was not done makes it the more necessary for the Keys to express their loyalty,lest their enemies should doubt it. |

|
H.Hamersley to Duke. Lord Mansfield,having been asked about the Keys' Address,declined to give any advice on the matter,but said that an irregular Address was the same as no Address. He has made enquiries about the presentation of falcons at the Coronation - which he presumes the Duke will wish to claim the right to make. It appears that "the proper place for the delivery will be in the Mall,after the return of the procession from the Abbey and immediately before the Dinner, the falcons being previously left in the Hall under the care of an officer of your Grace". The Earl of Derby always had a cast of tame falcons in readiness, having young birds taken from the nest in Spring and kept in the Island. |

Gov. Cochrane to Duke.He has heard that the late Earl of Derby bought falcons for the last coronation from the King's falconer - paying fifty pounds for them. The French prisoners from the "Privateer" have been taken away by a sloop from the Admiralty. All,that is,except their surgeon,who escaped,but being recaptured is now in Castle Rushen. Mr.Moore got the Keys' Address presented by Lord Holdernesse. Moore goes from one mad thing to another. He will never rest till he runs his head against a stone. |

Gov. Cochrane to Duke (from Edin.) expressing his regret at havin left the Island without the Duke's knowledge.

He has not been sending money to Liverpool by Capt.Lace for Mr.Tarleton because,although he has the greatest possible faith in Capt.Lace it so happened that when money was available Lace was either not on the spot,or was carrying barley which,being a dangerous cargo,made him think it inadvisable to risk the cash in the ship. |
