2. For the purpose of fixing and determining the price to be paid by the said Local Board of Health for the Borough of Dale to the said Dale Waterworks Company for the purchase of the property and premises aforesaid, the said parties hereto of the first part, at the request of the said Local Board of Health, and in pursuance of the provisions of the Public Health Act, 1848, hereby appoint G.

3. The parties hereto of the first part shall, when and so soon as they shall be required by the said arbitrators or either of them, and to their satisfaction, furnish to each of them correct and proper particulars in writing of the said waterworks, property, rights, powers, privileges, and premises hereby agreed to be sold, and of the nature of the right, title, and interest of the said parties hereto of the first part therein and thereto.

(d) It is unnecessary to insert in the agreement any provision for appointing an umpire, since, in cases where there is more than one arbitrator, the Public Health Act (s. 125), renders it imperative on the arbitrators to appoint an umpire, and empowers the umpire to make a final award if the arbitrators neglect to make one within a limited period.

9. On payment in manner aforesaid of the said purchase-money and all interest which may have become due for the same, the said parties hereto of the first part and all other necessary parties shall execute all proper and reasonable conveyances and assignments of the said waterworks, property, rights, and premises hereby agreed to be sold (such conveyances and assignments to be prepared by and at the expense of the said Local Board); but such of the conveying parties as are trustees only and not beneficially entitled shall not be required to enter into any personal covenants in respect thereof, either for title or otherwise, except the usual covenant that they have not incumbered.

10. The costs of preparing and executing these presents shall be borne by the said Company and the said Local Board of Health in equal shares, and the costs of the said arbitration shall be in the discretion and shall be paid according to the award of the said arbitrators or their umpire (e). IN WITNESS whereof the said parties hereto of the first part have hereunto set their hands and seals, and the said Local Board of Health have hereunto set their common seal (f) the day and year first above written.

(e) Submissions to arbitration under the Public Health Act may be made rules of Court.

(ƒ) In the case of the agreement from which the Precedent in the text is taken, the Local Board was the Corporation of the borough and had a common seal, but it seems to be very doubtful if the local board of a non-corporate district is a corporation: see Ex parte Local Board of Health of Llanelly, 22 L. J., Chanc., 419; 17 Jur. 107; 20 L. T. 321. It appears to be proper that agreements made by the local board of a non-corporate district should be in writing, under their seal and the hands of five at least of the members: see Public Health Act, s. 149.
