 composing the then Committee of Management of the York 

 Water-works Company for themselves, their executors, ad- 

 minstrators, and assigns, of the one part, and the then Trustees 

 of the Company for establishing and maintaining Swimming 

 Baths in the City of York, for themselves, their executors, 

 administrators, and assigns, of the other part, by which, after 

 stating that the Water-works Company had agreed vnth the 

 said Trustees to supply the Baths with water for the term of 

 97 years, upon the terms and subject to the stipulations therein 

 mentioned, the Swimming Bath Company agreed to be at the 

 expense of laying down pipes for conveying water from the Works 

 of the Water Company (which were then carried on close to 

 Lendal Ferry), and also that they would construct a brick tunnel 

 drain, commencing from the main Marygate drain, and extend- 

 ing along the Manor Shore and terminating in a public sewer, 

 emptying itself into the River Ouse near Lendal Ferry, and that, 

 at all times during the term of 97 years the contents of the 

 Marygate drain and all the waste water, washings, and other 

 liquids or other offensive matter from the Baths and buildings 

 connected therewith should be conveyed into the drain, so that 

 no part thereof should ^ow into the River Ouse either from the 

 Street of Marygate or from the Manor Shore. And further 

 that the Swimming Company should during the term of 97 

 years pay to the Water-works Company the rent of £5 for the 

 water to be supplied to the Baths, as in the agreement afterwards 

 mentioned. And in consideration of the premises the Com- 

 mittee of Management of the Water-works Company agreed 

 with the Trustees of the Swimming Bath Company that the 

 Water-works Company would supply the Baths with cold water 

 during the ordinary times of working their Engine from the 15th 

 day of July, 1838, during the term of 97 years then next ensuing, 

 on payment by the Swimming Company and their assigns of 

 the annual rent of £5, and that the Water- works Company 

 would pay to the Trustees of the Swimming Bath Company the 

 sum of £50 towards the expense of making the said brick tunnel 

 or drain, when the same should be completed to the satisfaction 

 of the Water- works Company.
