Error in information[edit]

Richard Kane could not have granted Isaac Netto (or Nieto) land for the synagogue in 1724 becauese he wasn't in Gibraltar then. Colonel William Hargrave was the commander in Gibraltar and he gave the "wast" land to Netto. This was during the rule of Governor David Colyear, 1st Earl of Portmore KT PC. ^[1]

Kane was an anti-semite who would never have given the Jews of Gibraltar anything and did his utmost to try to remove them from Gibraltar.

While this webpage, ^[2] indicates that Richard Kane was the governor from 1721-1727, he was actually the acting commander-in-chief, during disputes with Spain in 1720-21 and again in 1725-7. (^[3].) The actual governor remained David Colyear, 1st Earl of Portmore KT PC, until Colyear's death in 1730.

I wish I knew how to properly rewrite this section.
