entered into on the 30th of June, 1837, between the gentlemen 
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 with 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 Mary gate drain, and extend¬ 
ing along the Manor Shore and terminating in a public sewer, 
emptying itself into the Biver 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 flow 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.
