The Queen v Charles Tatham: 28 Jan 1858

Under the Nuisances Removal Act for England, 1865 (18 and 19 Vict. c. 181), the Local Authority in a district who have rendered innocuous a drain passing through their district, conveying away the filth of houses in a higher district, have no power to assess the owners of those houses for payment of the expences, though those houses use this drain. The power of assessment of a local authority is confined to property within the district for which they act.
