....

FIIOI.P.IITY.

1/r. Henry 1(11 Wan summoned by the local board fur
the district of South Horneey to show cause why he should
not pay the apportioned amount of the expenseyable
by him as owner of the house 14, Warwick-road,South
llormey, as settled by thii imrveyer of the local board, for
levelling, kerbing, channelling, and making good the said
road.

- - ---- This was a summons taken out ander the Public Health
Act, 1848, by the local board, for the district of South
Hornsey, in the county of Middlesex, against Henry Hill,
as the owner of certain premises in Warwick-road, Horn-
rey, to recover the sum of 211. 2s. 9d., a portion of the
expenses incurred by the local board for levelling, kerb-
ing, and channelling the said Warwick-road. Notice was
served under the 69th section of the act, on the 19th of
February, .867, upon the defendant to do the work him-
self. Thu murk nut being done, the local hoard having
themselves executed the same, gave notice on the 15th of
August, 1867, that the defendant's proportion of the ex-
pewee incurred by the board amounted to 211. 2s. 9d., and
that the apportionment was so made as to be binding and
conclusive upon him unless within the expiration of
three months from the date of such notice ho should, by
written note, dispute the same. The defendant, on the
14th of October, 1867, did, by notice, dispute his
liability. The defendant considered, first, that he was not the
owner within the meaning of the second section of the
Ilth and 12th of Victoria, chap. 63 ; and, secondly, that if
he was such owner within the meaning of the Act of
Parliament, yet that the local board was barred from re-
covering by the Ilth and 12th of Victoria, chap. 43, com-
monly called Jervis's Act, which fixes the time within
which proceedings must be taken to recover expenses
where no time is limited by statutory authority. It was
contended by the other side, that the defendant was
owner, and that Jervis's Act did not apply to this caw.
It appeared that the defendant was mortgagee in pos-
reK,ion of the premises at the time the work was executed
by the local board.
Mr. Cooke was of opinion that upon both points the
board hail a right to recover, and he gave judgment ac-
cordingly.
Mr. Hill asked for a case for the opinion of the court
above.
Mr. Cooke assented.
