FIRST-RATE RETAIL WINE AND SPIRIT ESTA-
BLISHMENT AT BIRMINGHAM.
MR. GARDINER is authorised to TREAT
for the DISPOSAL, by PRIVATE CONTRACT,
of the celebrated WINE and SPIRIT ESTABLISHMENT,
many years known as " WAINWRIGHT'S," most com-
mandingly placed, immediately contiguous to the Market Place
and Bull Ring, and in the centre of one of the most densely
populated parts of this highly important and rapidly improving
Town. The vast increase of trade of all kinds in Birmingham,
occasioned by the London, Manchester, and Liverpool Railways,
independent of the immense resident ma....ufacturing population,
renders this one of the most desirable and valuable properties
of its kind in the kingdom. It is freehold, and a considerable
sum will be allowed to remain on mortgage.

Particulars may be obtained of R. H. Tarlton, Esq., Solici-
tor, Birmingham; E. M. Dimmock, Esq., 35, Abchurch-
lane, London ; and of the Auctioneer, 17, Hatton-garden.
