-.9.1821
Observations by the Duke on the Memorial of the Keys. Begins by accusing the Keys of speaking as if they were the whole,and not merely one part,of the Insular legislature. - of trenching on the King's Perogatives - of heaping unprovoked and unmerited calumnies on the Duke,and attacking his character and honour. Denies that he has ever done anything to lessen the King's Prerogative or to injure His Manx subjects. Lt.-Gov.Smelt should have refused to receive the memorial from the Keys,and told them that if they had any charge to make against the Gov.-in-Chief they should do so openly.
Goes on to discuss the contents of the Memorial (which Lt.-Gov. Smelt has sent him to be forwarded to the King. and calls on those who signed it to make good the accusations which are in it,and which he absolutely denies, Gives such of then as may wish to do so a chance to withdraw their signatures before he proceeds against the remainder for libel.
