Ordenanza de quarteles de Santiago de Queretaro (1796)

A 24-page printed rulebook that cut Queretaro into nine wards, put an unpaid neighbourhood magistrate over each, and told him what he might and might not do. It orders schools, medical relief for the destitute sick and street lighting; it also orders a house-by-house census, servant papers and night rounds against the idle. Its article 14 forbids the same magistrates to make general inquisitions or to meddle inside a household.
