TOWNS IMPROVEMENT CLAUSES ACT 1847 - SECT 42

Commissioners may require owners of houses to provide privies and ashpits.

42. The commissioners shall require the owner of every house within the said
limits, to which no sufficient privy and ashpit, with proper doors and
coverings, is attached, to provide, where it appears to them that there is
room enough for the purpose, such privy and ashpit, in such situation, not
disturbing any building then already erected, as the commissioners deem
necessary for the use of the inmates and occupiers thereof; and every such
privy and ashpit shall be constructed to the satisfaction of
the commissioners, so as effectually to prevent the escape of the contents
thereof: Provided always that where a privy and ashpit is used in common by
the inmates and occupiers of two or more of such houses, the commissioners
may, if they think fit, dispense with the provision of a privy and ashpit for
each such house.
