THIS ELEGANT FREEHOLD RE SIDENCE, has very long been distinguished as OLD WINDSOR LODGE, . . . PETER AUBER, Secretary. FREEHOLD MOUSE, For Investment or Occupation, in Buckingham-street, very long distinguished for the superior character of the soil, and its extraordinary compactness. Lincolnshire has always been proverbial for the rare quality of the Land; and this Estate has, from time immemorial, been rank e d as foremost in public favour. It will far exceed the limit of an Advertisement to give, in detail, the immense advan tages connected with this invaluable property, but it is apprehended a brief outline will be quite ample, with a view to enlist the prompt and serious attention of the Monied Interest to an investment which, unquestionably, does not yield in its importance to any that has ever been submitted to public competition in England. The leading Features may be summed up in the following concise cotn mentary Strand. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE BO'S'NS, At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, May 28, at Twelve o'clock, consisting of a good dwelling-house, with excellent garden, orchard and meadow and Twenty-four cottages, the whole occupying five acres of land. THE MILL and it is proverbial in the neighbourhood, that it possesses more of family comfort than most of its rival compeers. The exterior presents a handsome uniform front, screened fronate toad by prolific Shrubberies and Pleasure Grounds, and the interior will be found to combine all tke accommodation a family of respectability can desire. The principal rooms are of not le proportions, overlooking the far famed Church of Old Windsor, in which it has a large Pew, awl the interesting scenery from thence to " THE PALACE OF WINDSOR CASTLE." AN Excellent FREEHOLD HOUSE and PREMISES, very desirably situate, No. 9, IN BUCKINGIIANI-STREET, ADELPIII. is 105 feet by 35 feet, and six stories high, comprising three water wheels, gear work, &e. commanding a con tinual and It comprehends three upper chambers, three best bed rooms and dressing room; two drawing rooms, with boudoir and dressing room ; two parlours, study, and store room ; with lots of domestic conveniences below ; and in the yard a detache.l brew and wash-house.

We will *et efore confine our observations to the evidence given by u rs James JOHNSON and Dr. KERRISON, in their exa %%Cott in the House of Commons. Dr. JAMES JOHNSON, the author of the " Treatise on "digestion," pronounces the water to he disgusting to the k en, and . the effluvia to affect the senses. Aad he thus ooncludes—" We sneer," says the doctor, „It the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at "Weeni e tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ; bat whit shall we say to the delicate citizens of Westmin stws who fill their tanks and stomachs with water from the Tilli meoi at th a t very s p o t i n t o w hi c h a h un d re d t h ou - ALL sand oa.. containing EVERY SPECIES OF FILTH A ND u wUrrititaima THINGS, are doily di•gorging their hideous, and abominable contents. It is a b so l ute l y asto ""skiag, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro- polo whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and c leanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity Will shudder, if they can credit it." Dr. KeitersoN makes us acquainted with a fact, the perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in ' electing the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital, he says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rane- Ilteh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine tiad the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED FLOATING FILTH FROM PRIVIES;" from which he con °lodes, that "a considerable quantity of human excre- Ment, in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually passes into our cisterns." _ This mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies, the most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a e.irritagine brilliancy , and at the same time most effectually ?.”tristeoying both SME LL and TASTE.

It is de sirably situate No. 9, IN BERKELEY-STREET, vis-a-vis the Duke of Devonshire's Garden. the princi pal rooms are of the best proportions, and partake in an eminent degree of the advantage resulting from the grounds in front; the bed chambers are very airy and good, and the domestic arrangement as complete as possible. The Propetty is Leasehold of the Berkeley Estate, for an un expired term of Fifty years, subject to the original rent. May he viewed with cards, from One till Four, and particulars had on the premises; at the Auction Mart; and in Covent-garden. AT HIGHWOOD HILL, IN HERTS, A FEW fiIILES BEYOND HENDON, THE ADMIRED FREE HOLD RESIDENCE, PARK, AND DOMAIN OF THE LATE SIR THOMAS STAIII-F6-R-D----RA-F-- FLES - MR. GEORGE ROBINS h as th e plea sure to announce that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, on THURSDAY, the I Ith of June, at Twelve o'clock, a distinguished FREEHOLD PROPERTY, which partakes of the style of A VILLA RESIDENCE OF A SUPERIOR CHA RACTER, ON HIGHWOOD HILL, has for many years been proverbial, no less for its external appearance, than the very great conveniences which will he found to preside throughout the interior of this favoured retreat; it is judiciously seated on a lofty and command ing spot, giving very great facility to views which can hardly be surpassed in any part of England. - THE TERRACE WALK is of considerable extent, and adorned by a multitudinous collection of all that is rare and estimable in plants and dowering Shrubs. The Kitchen Gardens are extensive, Mil the fruit trees prolific, and of the beat kind. THE PLEASURE GROUNDS AND SHRUBBERY WALKS EXTEND NEAR ONE MILE, _ and are well sheltered from the north and easterly winds, and it would almost appear, from the extraordinary tact that is manifest every where, that the genius of Repton must have been enlisted into the service; it was from this interesting spot that LADY RUSSELL dated her memorable letters. SIR STAMFORD RAFFLES, whose good taste has always been admitted, expended many thousand Pounds, in rendering complete this seductive and most desirable Property. THE ESTATE COMPREMENDS, IN PARK AND GROUNDS, ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO ACRES of excellent land, which completely environs the Mansion. There is also (and to be sold in separate lots) seven Cot tages, and a Resid..nce, with Public House, &c. ; also a Farm-house and suitable buildings. The Estate may be viewed 21 days prior to the sale, and particulars had at Highwood Hill House; also the Three Cranes, Edgware ; Abercorn Arms, Stanmore ; Essex Arms, Watford ; Bell, Hendon ; Messrs.

A Desirable Freehold Residence, with suitable Offices, Gardens, Carriage House, and capital Stabling, sur rounded by One Hundred and Sixty-five Acres, statute measure, of excellent Freehold Land, Four Labourers' Cottages, and Two Pews in the Parish Church. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, June 11, at Twelve o'clock, A Very Valuable and D es i ra bl e FREE ix. HOLD PROPERTY, particularly eligible as an Investment, and advantageous and profitable to the Agri culturist; it comprehends a Residence, substantially and very conveniently built, calculated for a Family of respec tability, with corresponding offices of every description ; the latter secluded from the abode by Shrubbery Walks, Fruit and Flower Gardens, &c. ; the situation is un usually inviting, and particularly dry and healthy, adjoin ing the turnpike road, contiguous to PORTSDOWN HILL, two miles from the capital Market town of Fareham, seven from Portsmouth, fourteen from Southampton, sixteen from Petersfield and Chichester. Connected with the Fares are Barns, Stabling, and Granary, Cart Houses, &c. ; spacious and convenient Homestead ; four Labourers' Cottages and Gardens, and ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES, statute mea sure, OF THE FIRST QUALITY OF ARABLE, MEADOW, AND DOWN LANDS, upon which is a Chalk Pit, with a Kiln thereon constantly ii use. The Pit contains an inexhaustible supply of Chalk of the best quality for making lime, and for sale for manure, for which articles there is a constant demand • its conveyance to the surrounding neighbourhood i s cheaply and expe ditiously accomplished, the Pit being within a Mile from the Water side. This property is entirely within a Ring Fence, in the occupation of a respectable Tenant for the last fourteen years (whose Lease expires at Michael mas next), at an inadequate Rent the last renewal being in 1822, (the very worst year for agricultural produce that can be remembered.) The Residence was recently tenanted by Admirals Paterson and Gif ard, and now by the Proprietors. The whole Estate is in perfect order and complete repair. The Prospect rooms offer uninterrupted and very interesting scenery, ex tending to Portsmouth Harbour, Spithead, the Isle of Wight, and Southampton Waters. The View from the Down Lands is still more interesting and beautiful, em bracing a distance of at least 20 miles in every direction of Sea and Land, which probably is not equalled in England. The Taxes are very low ; the Land Tax on the Dwel ling-house is Redeemed. Four stage-coaches to and from Southampton, Brighton, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, and the mail between Bristol and Portsmouth pass the premises daily ; and two Passage-boats, to and from Portsmouth, afford a cheap and expeditious communication, the distance being about tour miles. Particulars of this most desirable Property may be had 21 days prior to the Sale at the best Inns at Portsmouth, Southampton, Fareham, Petersfield, Chichester, and Brigh ton ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London, where a sketch of the Ebtate may be seen. ON MORTGAGE. May he viewed till the Sale, and particularshad, 2S days prior, of John Bush, Esq. Bradford, Wilts; of P. M. Chitty, Esq. Shaftesbury, Dorset ; of Mr. James Cousbes, Land Surveyor, Tisbury, near Hindon, Wilts ; and of Mr. George Robins, Covent-garden, where the Plan of the E.tate, and a List of the Machinery may be inspected. THE CELEBRATED COLLECTION OF THE HIGHLY-ESTEEMED WORKS OF BENJAMIN WEST, ESQ., THE LATE PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY; TOGETHER WITH THE SPLENDID EXHIBITION ROOMS, ERECTED BY MR. NASH, AT AN EXPENCE EXCEEDING 4,000 POUNDS, and the RESIDENCE of the VENE RABLE DECEASED, IN NEWMAN-STREET. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the grati fication to announce to the Public, and more especially those who encourage the FINE ARTS, that it has been his good fortune to be honoured by . the Executors of the revered and highly-gifted Artist, BENJAMIN WEST, LATE PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY, To offer for unreserved competition, on FRIDAY, SA TURDAY, and MONDAY, the 22d, 23d, and 25th days of May, at Twelve o'Clock, THE UNEQUALLED COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL PICTURES, Including 170 of the Sunman! EFFORTS of hie vast and comprehensive mind. The great renown acquired by this distinguished orna ment of his Art, will necessarily circumscribe the necessity of going into a very long detail : this is fortunate, inas much as the appalling difficulty of doing strict justice would weaken the humble effort, and thus render more im perfect a sketch, that pretends not to give more than a very faint outline of the brilliant picture, to which a much more talented man would feel himself incompetent to do adequate justice. In viewing this SPLENDID EXHIBITION OF THE FOUNDER AND FATHER OF BRITISH HISTORICAL PAINTING, The nation at large will lament that in times like these, when the march of intellect and improvement has made such rapid strides, so great a treasure as MR. WEST'S GALLERY Should be left to the hazard and uncertainty of the ham mer ; it was surely not appreciating too highly the English taste and liberality to contemplate THE BRITISH INSTITUTION AND NATIONAL GALLERY Becoming the depository of this entire Collection, and thus transmit to posterity a proud record of what could be accom plished by an Englishman, and in that peculiar art which had so long remained in its infancy. It was by the generous devotion of his pencil to the noblest aim of his profession, that first brought British Painting into direct association with the Throne, and raised it into an object of national importance in the mind of his Sovereign. It will almost partake of the work of supererogation to state, that until the year 1768, Historical Painting was in no wise encouraged in England, and the immortal West encoun tered the trial in fear and trembling : how well he suc ceeded future generations will acknowledge,--and the pre sent will, it is believed, add their concurring testimony._... For this proud testimonial of having raised the character of English Historical Art, the public are mainly indebted to the kind and fostering encouragement of his LATE MAJESTY, GEORGE TUE THIRD, Who, in the singleness of his mind, and unbounded libe rality, commanded the late President to paint TWENTY TWO PICTURES, to adorn THE ROYAL CHAPEL IN WINDSOR. Our present Monarch was graciously pleased to restore to Mr. West's family these precious gents; they include the SUBLIME COMPOSITION, MOSES RECEIVING THE LAWS, The universal Deluge, and the Crucifixion of Our Saviour. The remaining ones are all appropriate for Altar Pieces. It would far exceed the limit of an advertisement to men tion separately all the Pictures : a very few will demon strate the treat which is in store for those who have not been so fortunate as to see them. CHRIST REJECTED BY THE JEWS, (And for which 10,0001. was refused) was exhibited in Pall-mall, and 240,000 persons were gratified by a sightof it. DEATH ON THE PALE HORSE, Representing the opening of the first fire Seals : the effect proposed to be excited by this Picture is the terribly sub lime, and its various modifications, until lost in the oppo site extremes of pity and horror,—a sentiment which Painting had not, until then, attempted successfully to awaken. This is indeed a chef d'oeuvre ; and the same panegyric might be safely pronounced on the remaining 150 Pictures. The space allotted for this purpose is, however, insufficient, and this imperfect description will end by intreating especial attention to the following : Expulsion of Adam and Eve The Overthrow of the Old The Deluge Beast and False Prophet Abraham and Isaac Telemachus and Mentor on The Resurrection the Island Peter and John Cicero discovering the Tomb The Three Marys of Archimedes The Brazen Serpent Death of Wolfe Saul Prophesying Mark Anthony showing the St. Paul shaking the Viper Robe and Will of Caesar. Christ healing the Infirm Thus has Mr. West left for the admiration, of the pre. sent and succeeding generations, A SUBLIME SERIES OF PICTURES, _ _ _ - From Sacred and Profane History, Poetry, and orl• ginal fancy, including the greater portion of the labour of his long and meritorious life, as THE ONLY LEGACY FOR HIS CHILDREN. In America, the exhibition of one of Mr. West's Pic tures,—The Healing of the Infirm in the Temple,--(which he presented to the Hospital of Philadelphia gratuitously). produced a sum sufficient to perpetuate the maintenance of twenty-five Pensioners, besides 1,800 guineas to build a room to receive it. To conclude, Sir Thomas Law rence, at the distribution of Prizes to the Students of the Royal Academy, eulogized the late venerable Pre sident thus :—" His work were not only superior to any fornser productions of English art, but far surpass ing contemporary merit on the Continent—were un quailed at any period below the School of the Ca racci—and he gained celebrity at the close of his life, far greater than he had ever before enjoyed, and he became (almost to forgetfulnes s of deceased greatness) the one po pular painter of his country. Descriptive Catalogues, at 2s. 6d. each, will be ready one month antecedent to the Sale, when the Exhibition will be opened ; the Catalogues may then be had in the principal Cities in America, at Berlin, Vienna, Amster dam, and Paris; in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Ox ford, and Cambridge; of T. R. Smith, Es q., Solicitor, Farnival's Inn ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Loudest. The Coton Estate, with a superior Residence, Gardens, and Grounds, a very fine Freehold Investment, includ ing upwards of 1,560 Acres of excellent Land, in a Ring Fence, and Tithe Free ; Four Manors, extending over 5,000 Acres of Land, with the Advowson ; a Paper and Corn Mill, superior Farm-houses, and the Public-house midway between Kidderminster and Bridgenorth, and Woods abounding with Game; the present value 2,700/. a-year. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has great satis faction in announcing that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, on THURSDAY, May 21, at Twelve, in One Lot, at the Auction Mart, London, a singularly ad vantageous Investment for Capital, comprehending THE COTON MANSION AND ESTATE, IHE ADVOWSON OF ALVELEY, AND 1,560 ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND, TITHE FREE, AND IN A RING FENCE, very desirably situate on the borders of Shropshire, the Turnpike Road from BATH THROUGH WORCESTER to SHREWSBURY and HOLYHEAD pissing through the Property. There are so many and such self-evident advantages connected with this Investment, that a few of the more prominent will exhaust the usual limit of an advertisement. There are FOUR MANORS, EXTENDING OVER THE WHOLE PARISH, OF 5,000 ACRES, which has an immensity of Game upon it, independently Of ROYALTIES, HERIOTS, CHIEF RENTS, AND ArruaTE NANCES. The Residence is of modern structure, ADAPTED TO A FAMILY OF GREAT RESPECTABILITY, built of Free stone, at an expense exceeding 12,0001. It is delightfully situate, and environed by Pleasure Grounds and Plantations, laid out in good taste, and presenting ♦ FARE-LIKE ♦r- PEARANCE. The Kitchen-gardens are extensive and en compassed by lofty walls ; the Offices connected with the Residence are veil) , commodious and good. The FARM HOUSES ARE EXCELLENT, the Agricultural Buildings of the best description, and the Tenantry highly respectable. The WOODS ABOUND WITH PHEASANTS. There is Gravel and Freestone upon the Estate, and it is hardly doubtful that COAL AND IRON may be included in the long list of inviting properties con nected with the Estate. The Markets in the vicinity ars good, and the river Severn approximating upon the Coten Property, gives additional facility to the export of th e pro duce to - distant markets.

THIS important and highly valuable PRO PERTY is COPYHOLD of INHERITANCE it comprehends__________ THE DISTINGUISHED RESIDENCE, a structure of superior order, which was erected is the good old-fashioned times when substantiability was voted an essential appendage; it has beside the advantage of THE HIGH QUALIFICATIONS OF MR. SMIRKE, whose superior judgment presided over the vast improve ments which took place a few years since; it is seated in an extensive lawn, and enclosed from popular gaze by lofty brick walls ; the internal accommodation is of a character well worthy of imitation ; nothing omitted that can contribute to comfort. The principal rooms are of excellent proportions, partaking in an eminent degree of the beautiful disposition of the surrounding domain, which is laid out in unusually good taste; the best commentary will probably be found in the simple fact, that Mr. Repton's powerful aid contributed tb produce this desired effect. The domestic arrangement of the Mansion is in conformity with exceedingly good judgment, and the offices of every description most complete and satisfactory. The kitchen gardens are unusually productive, and encom passed by lofty brick walls, presenting VALUABLE FRONTAGE OF VAST EXTENT TO THE HIGH WESTERN ROAD, from which an incalculable source of revenue (arising out of ground rents) may be insured, without at all abridging any of the material advantages of the place, THE PARK OF SEVENTEEN ACRES BEING SO FINELY WOODED, that such an operation would be entirely shut out from the ♦iew of the possessor of THIS INTERESTING PROPERTY AND DOMAIN, and which Mr. Robins, with treat earnestness, recommends in an especial manner to the attention of the public.

The distinguished Freehold Mansion and Estate, sa long the admired Residence of Lord Northwick, on Harrow Hill, environed by its finely-timbered Park and extended Pleasure Grounds, with ornamental Water, and instant Possession, with Eight Acres of Land, and the Her mitage a little detached, and Two modern Gothic Villas, and Grounds contiguous. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce, that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, on TUESDAY, the 9th of June, by direc tion of the Executors and Trustees, for Sale, and unre servedly, at Twelve, in Three Lots, at the Auction Mart, opposite to the Bank of England, this singularly BEAUTIFUL FREEHOLD PROPERTY, which bas long been the DISTINGUISHED FEATURE of this ADMIRED NEIGHBOURHOOD, and has been so invariably the subject of general commendation, that it would be as impossible as it would be superfluous, in the confined limits of an advertisement, to attempt a pane gyric. HARROW PARK was for many years the favoured Retreat of LORD NORTHWICK, and more recently the abode of Major- General ALEXANDER MURRAY M'GREGOR, deceased. The Mansion has been wisely placed on a fine commanding situation, giving great facility to the extraordinary, beau tiful, and interesting views which the terrace walk com mand ; the panorama presented is so rich and varied, that it is believed it will not yield to any in England. The Residence possesses, in an eminent degree, all the accom modation A FAMILY OF DISTINCTION CAN DESIRE, and the domestic arrangement and Out-offices of every de scription are so complete as to leave nothing to be desired. THE PARK OF SEVENTY ACRES, most luxuriantly timbered, has uniformly been the subject of the highest admiration ; there is an irregularity and beautiful inequality in the grounds that neces-arily add to the imposing effect, whilst the majestic Timber, scattered about in pleasing negligence, and the extended ORNAMENTAL WATER, winding in serpentine form through the admirably dis posed grounds, contribute, in no small degree, to the coup d'ceil. Of the latter it will probably be quite sufficient to add, this the genius of Repton presided over the disposi tion of the pleasure grounds. THE HERMITAGE, CONSERVATORY, AND ICE-HOUSE are all judiciously placed, and the hot and succession houses, with the pinery, are all AS RECHERCHE as the most fastidious can desire. In fact, it will be diffi cult to suggest a luxury or a comfort that is not conspi.. cuous here. There are two modern Gothic Villas, just completed by Mr. Decimus Burton, with gardens and grounds to each, very contiguous to Harrow Park, with Eight Acres of Land, including the Hermitage, and to be soil on the same day, in separate Lots. The Purchaser may he accommo , lated with the eleg,at Furniture, Carriages, Service of Plate, cellar of es,timable Wine., Collection of Pictures, gcc,, by valuation, or the same will be sold by Auction on the premises.

M‘Dougall, Son, and Bainbrigge, Solicitors, Parliament-street; at the Mart; and cards to view may be Lad at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garde*. TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR, and it is known that, dining adverse times, when mode rate land was necessaily diminished in value, the supe riority of this soil was a sure guarantee of a comparatively small diminution in the rent roll. CROWLAND MANOR HOUSE is not of a pretending character, but may very easily be rendered the comfortable shod.. of a family. THE MANORIAL RIG/ITS, ROYALTIES, AND PRIVILEGES ARE EXTENSIVE. THE TOWN OF CRuWLAND IS ALL TRIBUTARY TO THIS 111ANOri. The FINES and QUIT RENTS are CONSIDERABLE. There is also pertaining to this property THE RECTORY OF CROWLAND. A valuable right of Fishing-, and an abundance of Game. The tenantry are highly respectable, and the con— tiguity of the property to Peterborough, Stamford, Gran tham, Spalding, and other capital markets, afford at all times a secure and ready vent for the abundant produce of THIS HIGHLY FAVOURED ESTATE It is, therefore, submitted I,y Mr. Robins with great confi dence to the attention of those who agree with him in be. lieving that Land is the best and safest investment for ca pital at all times, and now that. the funded property af fords such a moderate return, With the probability of an unfavourable reaction, it is placed beyond doubt that the opportunity thus presented is by far the most en couraging that has ever been offered to public attention ; there is a regular Market at Crowland, and an Annual Fair, which contribute to increase the Rental. It will be almost superfluous to remark, that the possession of such an immense and ♦aluable territory must be very in fluential with a view to THE REPRESENTATION OF THE COUNTY. Descriptive particulars are preparing, and will be ready for distribution six weeks antecedent to the Safe, with Lithographic Maps to each, at the principal Inns at Crowland, Peterborough, Stamford, Spilding, Grantham, and Wisbeach ; also in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham ; and may be had of Mr. Barwis, Soli citor, Crowland; Mr. Bomar, Solicitor, Spalding ; Messrs.

The Residence puts forth very strong claims to public attention, in as much as, without being of a very pretend ing character, it combines in its exterior a Chaste and Elegant Design, while its interior aeNanmodation pre sents a plentiful supply of every thing that is essential to the comfortable abode of a Family of high standing and respectability. The Grounds that environ this delightful retreat ate formed in accordance with the best taste. The Plantation-walks and Shrubberies luxuriantly disposed, are adorned by an infinity of the most choice American Plants and Evergreens, while the Flowering Shrubs are dispersing their sweet perfume in every direction. The Kitchen Gardens, encompassed by lofty walls, are clothtd with the choicest Trees, in an highly luxuriant state. THE FINELY TIMBERED PARK. has drawn largely on the bounty o f nature, its as muc h as the scene, however beautiful, must be somewl'.at imperfect without the ORNAMENTAL NVAT2IIs, which complete the coup d'ceil of tlila delectable retreat. Connected with it are THE MANORS, MANORIAL RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES, extending over a large And fertile tract Qf highly cultivated Land. THE ESTATE INCLUDES EIGHTEEN MOST CAPITAL FARMS, The whole of which are Freehold (save only . .. - bout 120 Acre. , ) which are Copyhold, and in the ocedupation of a most respectable Tenantry, at Reduced gents, capable of much improvement. There is besides, THE ADVOWSON AND NEXT PRESENTATION TO THE RECTORY OF DEBDEN, with a superior Residence and Glebe connected therewith.
