California Supreme Court August 31, 1887, No. 11,782 (Swamp-Land Reclamation District No. 407 v. Wilcox)

BELCHER, C. C.

This is an action to enforce payment of a swamp-land assessment. The plaintiff was organized as a swamp-land district in January, 1882, to reclaim certain swamp lands situate on Andrus island, in Sacramento county; and, as alleged in the complaint, the assessment sought to be recovered was thereafter regularly levied on land owned by the defendant within the district.
