Item description from seller

4to. 27cm, 4p. printed page (20x15cm), captain title, uncut, fine. (cgc.bx). Not in Tremaine or TPL. A separately printed copy of this act and not abstracted from the Collected Statutes of 1795. (This copy is separately paginated and differs in size from the later collected version). As the third session of the First Parliament ended on July 4th, 1794, Tiffany who succeeded Roy, did not receive this commission until November 1794. This act introduces for the first time in Upper Canada, legislation and regulations to govern the licensing of Public Houses for the Sale of Spirituous Liquors to the public. Almost certainly printed by Louis Roy, the first printer of Upper Canada, this is the first Liquor Licensing Act of Upper Canada.
