FINE FREEHOLD INVESTMENT, INCLUDING 3,414
ACRES OF CAPITAL LAND, WELL TENANTED,
AND RENTS PAID MOST REGULARLY.
R: GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to
announce to the PUBLIC, that he is directed to SELL
by AUCTION, at Morrison's Hotel, Dawson-street, Dublin, on
SATURDAY, the 9th.of April, at 12 o'clock, in 7 Lots, with a view
to the discharge of younger childrens' portions, and all the pecu-
niary obligations of
THE LATE THOMAS COSBY, Esq.,
THOMAS

STRADBALLY HALL,
ONE OF THE FINEST PROPERTIES
IN IRELAND,

and as a
PERMANENT INVESTMENT FOR CAPITAL
one of exceedingly rare occurrence. It comprehends
A PORTION OF THE TIMAHOE ESTATE,.
a well known property, together with the
MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS
_ _

AND THE LORDSHIP OF TIMAHOE,
IN THE QUEEN'S COUNTT,

desirably situate within 40 Irish miles of
THE CITY OF DUBLIN.

Amu from Maryborough and Abbeyleix, and within moderate reach
of other very important market towns. It consists of
3,414 ENGLISH ACRES,

divided with great care and judgment into very compact and service-
able farms, with suitable buildings, the whole lying together in a
very advantageous manner, situate in the townlands of
BALLINACLOUGH, AUGHONEY,
TIMAHOE, ESKER, BALLINTLEA,
COOLNEBACCA, KYLE, AND TOFSEY ;

every farm is in excellent order, and well tenanted, and the rental,
which exceeds
• THREE THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR,
is paid most punctually. It should in fairness be stated that the
late possessor made a very considerable sacrifice of rental to insure
so respectable a tenantry. It will not be amiss to state, with a view
to remind the Irish, and to illumine the English capitalist, to point
out a few advantages, that have had but little weight in their esti-
mation heretofore • it has been too much the fashion to talk of
Irish property as of supposititious value—the rental as exceedingly
difficult in its collection, and the tenantry poor and dissatisfied. In
some distant parts of Ireland, where land is over let, or rented by
those real oppressors of the poor, THE MIDDLEMEN, it may be,
that the foregoing remarks will occasionally apply ; but on this Pro-
perty, situate in the very best and most civilized part of Ireland,
and within

40 MILES OF THE CAPITAL,
a refreshing contrast is presented, the people are happy, and a pur
chaser will delight to learn, there
IS NOT AN ARREAR OF RENT;
nor has there been, throughout the late times so unpropitious to
the agriculturist. With this candid explanation it is hardly possible
THE ENGLISH CAPITALIST
can doubt the propriety of embarking a portion of his wealth in so
safe an enterprise, the more especially as the rate of interest is
beyond that which can be safely obtained on the English side of the
channel : a great many other and important advantages might be enu-
merated ; a slight allusion to one or two will, it is confidently
believed, prove seductive to those who would invest in safety. The
greater portion of the Estate consists of
VERY RICH MEADOW AND PASTURE LAND,
of a quality that insures an immense return to the honest and in-
dustrious farmer, inasmuch as, the best butter, and some of the
fattest oxen, may be traced to this property ; and being surrounded
by excellent roads and good markets; the produce is made available
at the highest prices ; besides which,

TWO EXTENSIVE RAILROADS,
which will pass near this Estate, are in contemplation, and, when
completed, will giYe a fresh impetus to industry, as the produce
will arrive in less than three hours at the

METROPOLITAN CITY.
THE GREAT CLOUGH COLLIERY
forms a boundary to the Timahoe Estate; and it has been ascer-
tained that a great part of this property is under the Coal Field.
AND THE GRAND CANAL,
FROM DUBLIN TO CARLOW,

passes within a convenient distance.
Much more might be urged to enlist both the English and Irish
capitalist, without giving too high a colour to the representation.
This imperfect sketch will, however, terminate by a remark that
should be highly appreciated. If the purchaser be inclined to reside
on this highly
to build favoured Estate, there are several most beautiful situa-
tionsa suitable residence. The Plantations are numerous,
of a fine growth, and the situation most picturesque. In conclu-
sion, Mr. Robins would direct a purchaser's attention to the
SPLEND
for which this portion of the KID ingdom is provSCENERY
erbial, and he invites
THE STRANGER
to seek occular demonstration, fully assured that he will admit the
correctness of the by-gone statement of this excellent investment.
There are no perpetual leases ' NO MIDDLE MEN, NOR IS
THERE ONE PAUPER on the whole of this property. With
such a Landlord, the tenants have all been but too happy and well
content, without asking for a lease, and it is believed, if the custo-
mary mode were adopted of letting these Farms by competition
ONE THOUSAND A-YEAR
would be the result. ADDITIONAL RENT
