John Humphery, his executors, administrators and assigns,
for the term of 61 years and one day, from the 3rd April, 1832
(subject to the rent of 20s. charged upon the parts of each of
the 22 Arches, as aforesaid, and also subject to the two leases
above-mentioned) at the yearly rent of a peppercorn, if
demanded.
On the 4th April next, therefore, the Executors of John
Humphery will be tenants in possession, not only of the parts
of the Arches of which he was in possession by virtue of the
first-mentioned lease to him, but also of the parts of arches
coloured yellow on the plan and leased to William Chadwick;
and, on the 5th April, the freehold of the same will revert to
and become vested in the two Boards of Works as successors
to the said Commissioners.
From and after that date the rents and profits of the said
Arches will be available in aid of the rates of the two Districts
in the same proportion as that adopted in regard to the rentcharge.
It will be observed, however, that the vesting of the
Arches in the local authorities involves the responsibility of
keeping them in repair as provided in Section 15 of the Act of
Parliament first above mentioned.
