Jean Marie Harle Père (1765-1838) was a liberal politician who opposed the government and served as a Deputy for Calais, with interruptions, from 1816-1838. He was notorious for interrupting his speeches in Parliament to blow his nose in a noisy manner. According to the Charivari, he consumed enormous quantities of tobacco (snuff) which resulted in heavy sneezing during sessions of Parliament.
