The Miry-road estate, within a mile of Oxford, was offered
through it. register on the 23n1 of May, after a public
meeting on the 16th at Oxford, at which a deputation from
the board attended, to explain the mode of allotment.
The sale of the plots on this picturesque property is making
good progress. An arrangement has been made for the
supply of water to every villa or house that may be built on
the estate. No time will be lost to complete the roads, as
intimation has already been given of an intention to cora-
-1 mence building operations forthwith. On the same day of
allotment, four well-secured freehold ground-rents, on the
Butter.ea estate, were offered and readily taken by holders
of early rights of choice. The Conservative Land Society
has acquired its forty-first estate, by a second purchase in
Hertfonlshire. The land has one frontage to the Ware-
road, being the continuation of Fore-street,in the town
of Hertford, and the other frontage is in the Station-road,
or Railway-place. As this property is immediately adjacent
to the Hertford terminus of the Ware and Hertford
branch (from linixbourne Junction) of the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway-Cambridge line, and is built up to
ou all sides, more eligible sites for building could
not be found in the increasing town of Martino'. There
are twenty-six plots, of which one is priced at 33/. Os., two
at 361. Ila 64., five at 401. 155., two at 41/. 165.„
four at 421. 17e., three at 451. 195., one at 491. 2e., two at
681. 19a., one at 721. la. 6d., three at 1041. 95., one at
1071. 12e., and one at 1141.185. No time having been lost
in the legal arrangements, the executive committee are in a
Flotation to allot this highly eligible estate on the 18th July,
The executive committee, in making the announcement of the
above allotment, have the satisfaction of adding, that on
the same day will be offered, through the register of rights,
a first portion of the Roehaniptoniark estate mad the
Camberwell houses. In mapping twenty-sic plots
for selection on the Roehampton plan, the committee have
kept in view two important *moderations ; the brat that
the sale of the land to be offered on the 18th of July will
not in the slightest degree interfere with the future disposal of
the mansion, and as much of the park attached thereto as
any nobleman or gentleman may desire to purchase ; and
secondly, that the laying out of the twenty-six plots shall be
is harmony with the portions of land previously sold for
first-class villas. The sites selected for the present allot-
ment are in the south-west part of the estate, par-
takiiq of both the Richmond-pork and Putney-heath
boundaries, with the finely wooded scenery and immunity
from being built against which the Royal Perk and Putney-
heath both .enure. The plots will be sold land-tax and
tithe free, the prices including cost of conveyance and every
expense, save the timber, which will be pia for by valua-
tion if the purchaser elects to take the trees with the land.
There will be one plot at 1021. 75., one at KM/. Bs., tone at
1041. 95., one at 1061. 10c, one at 106/. IL-. one at
1071. 125., eight at 10W. 135., one at 109/. 14e., one at
1941. 65., one at 198/. 9e. 6d., one at 2011. 125., two at
2061. 165., one ut 2661. 75., one at 475/. 5e., one at 4871.

to la. lr. 3p. Both on the Hertfoni and Roehampton
Estates the takers of each plot will have the privilc
borrowing seven-eighths of the cost, pitying the balance
in monthly or other instalments, at the rate of
les. per month for every 50 /. worth of land. The freehold
houses included in the allotment of Wednesday, the 16th
inst., are situated in Demo:ilk-road, Camberwell, in the
parishes of Oranberwell and Lambeth, and are offered land-
tax redeemed sad tithe free. Every bowie is let, produc-
ing the following rents:--Herne-cottage, 301. ; Clifton-

the option of oompleting the purchase within a month from
the day of allotment or availing himself of the borrowing
powerof throe-fourths of the cost, paying the loan its monthly
or other instalments, under the society's loan scales. The
executive committee beg to remind allotteea ou the society's
estates in various counties, that Friday, the 20th of July.
is the final day for sending in claims for the freehold fran-
chise in counties. The solicitor must be supplied with the
necessary deeds to substantiate, free of expense to the
uienibers, claims at the registration courts, the applicants
specifying the most convenient polling district to vote,
in • the county in which their property is situated.
Changes of residence or alterations in qualification should
be at once made known at the Society's offices. As the
oast general election may take place under the registration
of 1860. the earliest attention of holders of plots is re-
quested, that they may be duly registered."
