Atholl House and Dunkeld Rel. His Grace is brother to Baron 180. STRATHALLAN, Viscount, Y. of C. 1686 A Representative Peer of Scotland; elected Sept. 2d 1830 Offi. Lord Lieut. and Hereditary Sheriff N. & S. James-Andrew-John-Laurence * The ISLE OF MAN is a distinct territory from England, Scotland, and Ireland; not being governed by the laws of either of these kingdoms: nor does any Act of the British Parliament extend to it, unless so expressly stated in the Act itself. It was formerly a subordinate feudatory kingdom, subject to the Kings of Norway: then to King John and Henry the Third of England: afterwards to the Kings of Scotland, and then again to the Crown of England: at length, we find Henry the Fourth claiming it by right of conquest, and disposing of it to the Earl of Northumberland; upon whose attainder it was granted to Sir John de Stanley, ancestor of the Earls of Derby, in 1406. After several other vicissitudes, on the death of James, tenth Earl of Derby, in 1735, the Duke of Atholl succeeded to the Lordship of the Island, as heir-general by a female branch of the Derby family. In the mean time, though the title of King had long been disused, the Earls of Derby maintained a sort of regal sway over Man, by assenting or dissenting from laws; and no English writ or process was of any authority in the Island. Such an independent jurisdiction being, in the course of time, found to be inconvenient for the purposes of public justice, by affording a ready asylum for debtors, outlaws, traitors, and particularly for smugglers, the interest of the then proprietors, viz. the Duke and Duchess of Atholl†, was purchased by the British government in 1765 for 70,000l. Thus the Island and its dependencies became vested in the Crown, and subject to the regulations of the British Excise and Customs as far as regards the exportation of spirits and other articles to England, Scotland, and Ireland, which are either contraband, or have not paid a duty to the King. These, however, do not interfere with the consumption on the Island itself; such being regulated by the internal laws, and for the support of the government of Man. In all other respects, likewise, this Island retains its peculiar laws and government, and is still a convenient refuge for debtors and for outlaws, except those who have been guilty of murder and other enormous crimes. The Duke of Atholl still holds his landed property in the Island, with all manorial rights, and the patronage of the Bishop of Sodor and Man and other ecclesiastical benefices; on payment of the annual sum of 1017. 15s. 11d., and rendering two falcons to the Kings and Queens of England upon the days of their coronation. + The Duchess was heiress to her father's barony of Strange and Lordship of Man, being the only child of James, 2d Duke of Atholl. The Scottish honours descended to the Duke's nephew John, who by marrying his cousin reunited the family possessions and dignities as before. Tinewald was the name borne by the ancient Parliament or annual convention of the inhabitants of Man. The magistrates are to this day styled Deemsters. 1609 Mar.
