The Acting Conservator of the River Mersey is a unique position. The holder is responsible for ensuring navigation on, and protecting the Environmental science environment of, the River Mersey in the North West of England. The Conservator originally acted on behalf of a Commission appointed by The Crown , but now acts for the Department for Transport . History In order to maintain navigation on the Mersey the then town of Liverpool was granted a Charter by Charles I of England Charles I in 1626. This conferred the right to levy tolls for shipping and to carry out improvements to the navigation of the river. By the 1800s the Mersey was carrying shipping to a much larger area of North West England for example, it was possible to navigate to Manchester by 1730 and the Corporation of Liverpool believed it needed additional powers to fulfil its role. However, other groups did not see it in their interest to allow any one town to dominate development and the creation of a post for an independent expert, the Conservator was proposed. This position was created by 1842, and the Acting Conservator was responsible to a newly created Commission for Mersey Conservancy , whose members were appointed by the Crown. The Commission, originally comprising the First Commissioner of the Admiralty , the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and the Commissioners of Woods and Forests Chief Commissioner of Her Majesty s Office of Woods and Forests , set out the responsibilities of the Acting Conservator blockquote ... to survey and inspect the Mersey within the limits of the Commissioner s jurisdiction and to report to the Commissioners upon the state of navigation thereof, specifying all the impediments, encroachments, nuisances and annoyances in, upon, or affecting the same, and when and by whom and from what cause such impediments, encroachments, nuisances and annoyances have been created, or have arisen. ref name merseygateway.co.uk http www.merseygateway.co.uk html hydro1.htm Mers ... more details

Orphan date December 2009 Bedard v. Dawson , 1923 S.C.R. 681 is a leading constitutional decision of the Supreme Court of Canada . The Court held that the provinces could legislate in matters related to the prevention of crime even though the federal government had exclusive power over criminal law. 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. The Court upheld a provincial Act on the grounds that the law was in relation to property and civil rights and not criminal matters as was the case for an equivalent provision in the criminal code regarding disorderly houses . Justice Idington, writing for the majority, held that Indeed, the duty to protect neighbouring property owners in such cases as are involved in this question before us renders the question hardly arguable. There are many instances of other nuisances which can be better rectified by local legislation within the power of the legislatures over property and civil rights than by designating them crimes and leaving them to be dealt with by Parliament as such. p. 684 In a concurring opinion, Justice Anglin added I am of the opinion that this statute in no way impinges on the domain of the criminal law but is concerned exclusively with the control and enjoyment of property and the safeguarding of the community from the consequences of an illegal and injurious use being made of it a pure matter of civil right. In my opinion in enacting the statute now under consideration a legislature exercises the power which it undoubtedly possesses to provide for the suppression of a nuisance and the prevention of its recurrence by civil process. p. 685 See also Nova Scotia Board of Censors v.

Both enterprises beginning small, they eventually grew large and close enough to one another that the stench of manure and the infestation of flies from the feedlot were affecting both current residents of Sun City, and inhibiting future sales. Webb brought suit for an injunction against the further operation of the feedlot. The lower court granted the injunction, ordering Spur to shut down operations. The court held that the injunction was proper. Distinguishing between private and public nuisances, the former being remedied often only by damages, at least where the costs of injunction are great on the defendant, the court determined that the feedlot was a public nuisance. This decision was made in large part because an Arizona statute called any place in populous areas which constitutes a breeding place for flies . . . and other animals that can carry disease is a public nuisance. Determining south Sun City to be a populous area the court said that injunction was thus proper. Given the equities the court crafted a special injunction, however. Citing the coming to a nuisance doctrine, which prohibits equitable relief for a homeowner who purchases a home within the reach of the nuisance, the court said that Webb must indemnify Spur for his losses as a result ... more details
Cleanup rewrite date February 2011 Henry Fell Floruit fl. 1672 , was a Quaker missionary and writer. Fell was a member of one of the numerous Lancashire families bearing his surname. The first mention of him is in 1656 as suffering much from the magistrates in Essex , and in the same year he went as a missionary to the West Indies , where he remained about a year. After his return to England he was engaged as a travelling preacher, and is referred to by his contemporaries as having been eloquent and successful. In 1659 he was seriously ill treated by some soldiers near Westminster Hall , and in 1660 Richard Hubberthorne , the quaker, represented to Charles II of England Charles II that at Thetford, Norfolk , Fell had been hauled out of a meeting, and, after being whipped, turned out of the town, and passed as a vagabond from parish to parish to Lancashire. In a letter to Margaret Fell Swarthmore MSS. Fell states that he was imprisoned for some time at Thetford. He was in London during the rising of the Fifth Monarchists Fifth monarchy men in this year, and was knocked down by the soldiers as a rioter, and Fox Journal, p. 314, ed. 1765 says he would have been killed but for the interposition of the Duke of York. In 1661 he was moved, in company with John Stubbs , to promulgate his views in foreign parts, especially to Prester John s country and China. As no shipmasters would carry them, the quakers got a warrant from the king, which the East India Company found means to avoid. They then went to Holland, and, being unable to obtain shipping there, proceeded to Alexandria . The English consul banished them from the place as nuisances, and they were compelled to return to England. After spending some time in religious journeys, he again visited the West Indies, and a letter in the Shackleton collection states that in 1672 he was living in Barbados , that he was married, in debt, and much depressed.
