SALES BY AUCTION.

IN THE SOUTH OF YORKSHIRE, BORDERING UPON

THE COUNTY OF NOTTINGHAM.

The entire MANOR and LORDSHIP of ROSSINGTON, an
extensive FREEHOLD ESTATE, WOODS, and PLANTA-
TIONS, of nearly 3,000 acres, situate on the Great North
Road, 156 miles from London to York and Edinburgh, and four
miles south of the town of Doncaster.

MR. TILBURN will SELL by AUCTION,
at the Mansion-house in Doncaster, on THURSDAY, the
25th day of October, at Two o'Clock, the ROSSINGTON
ESTATE, comprehending the entire Manor, Lordship, and Parish
of Rossington, the property of the Corporation of Doncaster, si-
tuate in a favourite part of the county of York, extending over
nearly 3,000 acres of fertile arable (turnip and barley soil ), meadow,
pasture, and wood lands, within a ring fence, subdivided into 14
eligible farms by thriving quickset hedges. The whole of the rural
village of Rossington (except the rectory) composed chiefly of
modern farm-houses, home-steads, and agricultural buildings, all
in good order and condition, well built and judiciously planned
with great consideration to the occupancy and convenience of an old
and highly respected tenantry, with comfortable cottages and pro-
lific gardens for an industrious and well-regulated labouring popu-
lation. Shooters'-hill, the residence of R. F. A. Freeman,
Esq., delightfully situate, is part of the valuable domain, approached
from its lodge on the London-road, and the mansion, though of
unassuming pretension, is full of comfort, presenting a neat eleva-
tion, environed by tastefully displayed plantations, gardens, plea-
sure grounds, and park like enclosures, quite a gentleman's resi-
dence, replete with all requisite domestic offices ; and complete farm
buildings, for 400 acres of land attached, and let on building lease
at a low rent, with the mansion, commanding extensive and varied
scenery over the soft undulating and far spreading woods of Ros-
sington, (the town of Doncaster in view,) and closed by rising
grounds and woods in the distant horizon. Rossington Grange,
secluded by sheltering woods, and watered by the Thorne Rivulet.
On the westerly side of the estate is a highly respectable farm
residence, with capital homestead, buildings, and premises for 300
acres of land, forming altogether one of the most valuable farms
of the neighbourhood. The Inn, called the Corporation Arms, but
more generally known by the appellation of Rossington-bridge, with
its excellent accommodation, stabling for 100 horses, and spacious
farmstead and lands, is admirably situate by the high London
road on the northern boundary, and has attained, under the
present management, that well-merited reputation which its
sporting and agricultural friends are on all occasions anxious
to proclaim. The luxuriant woods and thriving plantations, pro-
verbial for their neat and healthy appearance, and the theme of
general praise, contain nearly 300 acres, yielding a very considerable
annual income, including the Hunster, Helms' Carr, and Parks'
Woods, of fine grown oak timber, which, with the other covers
upon the estate, and the approximating strictly preserved • grounds
of J. Walbanke Childers, Esq., M.P., George Greaves, Esq.,
and others, and parts of the Nottinghamshire possessions of his
Grace the Duke of Newcastle, afford covert and plain shooting
equal to any in the kingdom. The vicinity of Doncaster has been
justly celebrated for its numerous seats of the nobility and gentry
and fashionable society. The fox-hunting excellent, the Badsworth
and Scarborough kennels close at hand, and the Fitzwilliam and
Bramham Hunts within distance. The Manor of Rossington, with
the rights, royalties, and immunities thereunto appertaining, is co-
extensive with the lordship, and held by the Corporation of Don-
caster, by Royal grant from Henry VII. Both are of freehold
tenure ; the land-tax is redeemed, and the tithes commuted
to 614/. per annum. The present rental of the farms upon the
estate, with the woods in hand, is estimated at 3,2001. per annum. It
would be vain to attempt to describe all the advantages which this
beautiful domain nossesses. It must be seen to be fully appreciated,
and it may in truth be said to be one of the most compact and de-
sirable estates in the county, and a capital and substantial landed
investment. The advowson, or perpetual right of presentation to
the Rectory of Rossington, of the annual value of upwards of 7001.,
is in the gift of the Corporation, and will be sold subsequently under
the direction of her Majesty's Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
Descriptive particulars and plans are preparing, and may shortly
be had at the news-rooms of York, Leeds, Hull, Sheffield, Man-
chester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Edinburgh ; the
public libraries of Brighton, Cheltenham, and Bath ; at the Auc-
tion Mart • at Garraway's ; and of Messrs. Forbes, Hale, and
Boys, 5, Ely-place, London ; of Mr. Alexander, surveyor and land
agent, Doncaster ; •of Mr. Popplewell, the Corporation Steward,
Doncaster; Mr. Tilburn, auctioneer, Doncaster; and at Messrs.
Mason and Collinson's, the Town Clerk's offices, in Doncaster.
