Are you referring to colonial New York? If so:

One major problem for the New York colony was the behavior of its subjects. The citizens were violent and frequently drunk. To combat this problem, leaders tried to fine and punish violent behavior. They also tried to raise taxes on alcohol. Another problem was hogs. Pigs tended to run wild in the streets. To solve this problem, the colony prohibited people from letting their animals run free.

What else can I help you with?
