The law was passed by the Quebec legislature and allowed for private citizens to apply to the Court to close down a premises if it was being used as a disorderly house.

About the English clergyman the New Zealand jazz musician Nathan Haines Unreferenced date February 2007 Nathan Haines , D.D. was an English clergyman. He was born c.1735 6 and died 27 April 1806. Nathan Haines came from Dorset. He was the son of the Rev. John Haines of Cattistock. Nathan s wife s cousin, Elizabeth Chudleigh was the wife of Evelyn Pierrepont, 2nd Duke of Kingston upon Hull , whose family had bought the living of St. Mary s in 1616, and this connection probably secured Haines the living in 1770. He was ordained in 1761 and became vicar of St. Mary s Church, Nottingham on 24 March 1770 a position he held until he died. He was also Rector of Weston, 1770 1797, Curate of Holme Pierrepont , Nottinghamshire 1772 1799, Prebendary of Southwell 1788 1806, Perpetual curate Perpetual Curate of Tong, Yorkshire 1789 1806, Domestic Chaplain to Viscount Newark later Earl Manvers 1796 1806, Rector of Cotgrave , Nottinghamshire 1797 1806 Although Nottingham was a strong dissenting town, relationships between Anglicans and Dissenters were largely cordial many dissenters attending chapel and receiving communion in their parish church. It was widely recognised that the poor of the town received more charity from the Anglican clergy than from any of the dissenting ministers. In 1801, the Nottingham Journal published figures for St. Mary s 3,872 inhabited houses, 5,312 families, 10,895 males and 11,759 females, giving a parish population of 22,654. This was double the figure in 1770 when Haines took the living. During Haines incumbency, the cordial relations between Anglicans and dissenters deteriorated. In 1799, shots were fired through the vicarage bedroom window, manifestly with a destructive and malicious intent while Dr and Mrs Haines were asleep in bed. The Vicarage was Washington House, on High Pavement . In 1800, the Nottingham Journal reported loitering, gaming and other nuisances in the churchyard during divine service. In 1801, the vestry demanded the restorati ... more details
