Pierre Carey le Pelley

Pierre Carey le Pelley was from 1849 to 1852 the 17th Seigneur of Sark.

In 1844, he tried to look on the island desperately for funds for the operation of the silver mine of his father Ernest le Pelley. However, his father had financial difficulties from the feudal system of Sark for £ 4,000 to John Allaire, a pledge -based privateers. 1845 collapsed the ceiling of the deepest tunnel. The company, however, was not insured and was eventually closed in 1847. Pierre was not to maintain the mortgage payments in the position and was forced to the Seigneur of Sark to Marie Collings title, John Allaires daughter and heiress, for £ 6000 to sell.
