Memorial from the Keys to Gov.Smith. complaining of "the unconstitutional interference of the Duke of Athol in the Legislation of this Island" and his obstruction of all their efforts to improve matters. This arises from his ill-founded opinion that the inhabitants are his tenants,and that the Legislature has no right to pass laws without his consent. The Keys have never attacked the Duke,but have acted on the defence alone, resisting only when their liberties,their properties and the Constitution were attacked. They now fear that the Duke is attempting to get back into his hands the Sovereignty which his family has lost. And they entreat the Governor to lay their complaints before the King,and beg His Majesty's protection. In particular to ensure that they retain the right to legislate for themselves,without interference,and to have direct access to the Throne. |

A/cs of the arrears due to the Duke by Messrs. Quayle and Callow,late Seneschals. As adjusted by Robt. Heywood, Deputy Seneschal. |
