|
Another version of AP_X71_6, differing in many respects,and including the remarks made by the Duke after the Court had been cleared of all strangers. In these he accused the Keys of having exceeded their rights and heaped calumnies upon himself. in a document addressed to the Lt.Gov. and based on assertions which were known to the British Government but had made "as little impression on them as the ball of an infant against the walls of Castle Rushen". He then challenges anyone to show how he,as Governor, had in any way acted injuriously to the people of the Island,and expresses his disgust with the Lt.Gov. for having received and forwarded to the Government a memorial of that type. He next called upon the men who had signed the Memorial to make good their assertions. or, if they had signed without due consideration,to withdraw their names so that they might escape the action which he would take against the others probably for the manner in which they had libelled his character. |
