nounce that the above truly magnificent and very valuable
FREEHOLD ESTATES, together nearly 7,000 statute acres, em-
bracing some of the finest land in the county, and almost in a ring
fence, will be submitted to PUBLIC S ALE (if not previously dis-
posed of by Private Contract).
They embrace the important " Manor of Bold," with its splendid
mansion, gardens, park, noble woods, lake, and plantations, all
In excellent order, and distinguished as " The Bold .Hall Estate,"
a,.1 comprising ,within itself about 4,300 acres most su-
perbly timbered, and well stocked with game, also " The
Burtonwood' Estate" adjoining, which contains nearly 1,400
acres, very finely timbered, together with " The Sutton Estate "
ciosely contiguous, consisting of about 1,030 acres of excellent land
skirting the prosperous and rapidly improving town of St. Helen's,
and containing mines of superior coal, and also beds of clay of great
value for pottery purposes. The whole of these fine estates are let
(with the exception of the parks aid demesne farm, which are in
hand) to responsible tenants at moderate rents, and produce between
11,0001. and 12;0001. per annum, exclusive of royalties and rents re-
ceivable from coal mines, which must annually increase. Tho
' limits of an advertisement will only admit of a brief outline of the
numerous natural and great local advantages of this most important
and splendid domain. The Mansion of Bold stands upon a fine ele-
vated part of the park, winch contains about 600 acres, richly
studded with noble timber, and sheltered by venerable oak woods of
the finest growth. Within the park are the remains of the ancient
hall, moated round, and which, from a period little later than the
Conquest, has been the seat of the maternal ancestors of the
present owner. The Sutton Estate possesses rare advantages ;
is intersected by the London and North-Western. and St. Helen's and
Runcorn Gap Railways, and, from its position and nature, its valise
must be annually increased. The St. Helen's Coal-field, containing
an average thickness of 70 feet of coal, is believed to extend under a
considerable portion of the Sutton Estate ; part of such mines are
already in lease, and must be the source of a vast revenue. The
Sutton Station of the London and North-Western Railway is distant
about a mile from Bold Hall, affording easy access to all parts of the
kingdom. Warrington is distant from Bold 5% miles; Liverpool
only 14 ; Manchester, 20 ; and London, less than 200. The Bold and
Burtonwood Domains and Manors may be purchased without the
Sutton Property, which will probably be offered in lots.
For further particulars and cards to view the property, and to treat
for the purchase, apply at their Offices in Waterloo-place, Pall-mail,
London. Particulars may also be had of Messrs. Rowson and Cross,
Solicitors, Prescot, Lancashire; or Mr. Alexander Bannerman, Land
Agent, South Cottage, Chorley.

of the Thames.
MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON re-
spectfully apprise the Nobility and Public generally that, if
not previously disposed of by Private Treaty, the capital and splendid
TOWN MANSION of the late Marquis of Allen, in Whitehall-
gardens, will be SUBMITTED to PUBLIC AUCTION shortly

from the Crown, for a term of 99 years from July, 1806, at a low
ground-rent. The mansion is admirably arranged throughout
for the accommodation am, comfort of a large establishment,
is in most excellent repair, and immediate possession may
be had. The rooms are cheerful and airy, opening backward to a
lawn extending to the river, and are of fine dimensions. From its
contiguity to the Houses of Parliament, St. James's-park, the Pa-
lace, and Downing-street, it is admirably suited for a Cabinet Mi-
nister or any leading Member of Parliament; also for a first-rate
Club-house.

No person can view the house without a card of admission, which,
with every requisite information, may be had at their Offices in
Waterloo-place, Pall-mall ; or of Messrs. Ashfleld and Clode, so-

THE IRISH BAR.
(Continued from the Law Review.)
But we have strayed so long there we have scarcely
time for a stroll, through the Four Courts. Yet it is
worth the trouble. The hall of that building is a
spacious circle, surmounted by a very beautiful dome,
beneath which were then daily collected all the Bar
bustlers, and all the idlers of Dublin. Let us suppose
ourselves there in the year 1806, (alas, forty years ago!)
and commence our introductions. And atop. Mark well
that slight, short figure, with restless gait and speaking
gesture—he with the uplifted face, obtruded under lip,
and eyes like living diamonds. See how the young man
cluster round him. Observe the spell bound gaze—hark
to the ringing laughter. That is Curran—the unique,
the wondrous, the inimitable Curran—who spoke as poets
in their inspiration wrote, and squandered wit with
Rabelais' profusion. Curran, whose words, merry or
mournful, as his country's music, commanded tears or
laughter at his bidding. Curran—in evil days erect
amidst the grovelling, pure amidst the tainted—in public
life the most consistent of patriots—in private, the
most social, exquisite, enchanting of companions.
Pass we away from him. Times never to return or
be forgotten. Hours to which his genius gave the wings
of angels, as bright and swift, and, sad to say, as tran-
sient in their flight, rise up before me, and forbid aught
else to mingle with their memory. And 10, singularly
enough, here comes MacNally—Leonard MacNally—
Curran's junior in most of the State trials consequent
upon the dreadful "'98." We have lived to hear the
question,—

" Who fears to speak of '98?"
Ido for one. I fear even to think of it. Accursed
car of blood and terror--of torture and conflagration—
of widows and of orphans! May the annals of mankind
never be stained by such another! When the pitch-cap
and the triangle had done their work, and the drum-head
courts-martial allowed the law to speak, MacNally
became prominent on the scene. His very appearance
fixed attention. Not naturally deformed, he yet seemed
so. He had the misfortune, it is said, to have all his
bones broken at one time or another. He parted com-
pany with both his Usti:ohs, and either would not, or
could not, tell how ; the latter most probably, as he
always accounted for it, but never was there a tune
richer in variations. He had one leg longer than the
other, and one arm shorter, and limped like a witch.
His eyes and voice pierced you like arrows; and served him
well in cross-examination. Had MacNally devoted himself
to literature, he would probably have been distinguished.
His opera of Robin flood, once very- popular, still keeps
the stage. It was a common practice with the juniors
to play on his vanity respectine this production and the
vast sums it brought him. The wicked process was
this. They first got him to fix the ageregate amount,
and then, luring him into details, he invariably, by
third-nights and copy-rights, quintupled the original.
This was a good pendant to the way he lost the thumbs.
But the fault lay in the strength of his imagination
being greater than that of his memory. He was more
fortunate in his dramatic than in his legal lucubrations.
As his chief practice at the bar, at one time considerable,
lay in the criminal courts, he thought himself called on
to produce a law book, which resulted in the publication
of his " Justice of the Peace." This was meant to be
a practical work for the special guidance of the country
gentlemen. Eminently practical it soon proved to be.
Before six months elapsed most magistrates in Ireland
were personally familiar with the perfections of a writ.
It was a high treat to hear the author's cross-examina-
tion of one of the victim students. "In the name of
Heaven, my good man, what could have prompted you
to act in such a manner ?" " Prompted me ! Mr. Mac
Nally—Mr. MacNally, I'm more than astonished at you.
I acted on the authority of your own book." " Oh, my
dear Sir, I am humbly conscious of its too numerous
defects ; but I pledge myself to you to correct them all,
when—it comes to a second edition." MacNally's ori-
ginality and supposed patriotism rendered him an espe-
cial favourite with Curran. His was the last hand he
shook in Ireland previous to the visit to this country,
which terminated in his death. Associated intimately
in the treason trials, neither of them were supposed
particularly adverse to the cause which they defended.
Having mutually agreed not to enrol themselves in the
"lawyers' corps organized at that period, Curran was
much surprised one morning at his friend's announce-
ment that he meant to become a member I " Have you
considered the risk you run, my dear Mac ?" said Cur-
ran. " What do I care for risks ? Who doubts my
courage ?" "No one who knows you ;—but the risk
you run is from mutiny,—from disobedience of orders.
You'll be shot. When the adjutant cries march,' you'll
unquestionably halt."
Amongst the memorable men they defended was the
Rev. Mr. Jackson, once well known in England. He
had been secretary to-the celebrated Duchess of Kings-
ton, and was understood to have composed all the letters
in her envenomed controversy with Foote. Becoming
unhappily ineoaued with the sedition of the day, he was
betrayed byr;an associate, dogged to Ireland by the
directions of Pitt, and, when the plot was ripe, con-
victed of high treason. In order to avoid judgment and
attainder, he took poison, and died in the dock un-
sentehced. As MacNally bent over the dying man, he
faintly whispered, " We have deceived the senate."
It sickens the heart even to think on the tragedies
enacted in these times. The miserable man who sold
Jackson's blood received 1001. a year, as the purchase
money, from his employer, Alas, what times they were!
Society became chaos. No man dare trust his bosofii
friend—if he did the scaffold repaid his confidence.
Wretches actually sat at the table of their host, and
dandled his children on their knee, while they were
making or collecting evidence for his conviction. What

It was on one of these occasions that ho thundered
forth, while every eye gleamed on him with fury—
" Proceed to your office. Assassinate me you may—in-
timidate me you cannot." In Westminster Hall how
strangely must it sound to hear of a law court peopled
by military, and a bar with their robes worn over their
regimentals! Yet in 1798--99, such was the spectacle
which Dublin often witnessed.
Prominent in the crowd, and not a mere spectator,
stood Peter Burrowes, the friend of Tone, of Emmett
the elder, and of Plunket. With a profound intellect
he was simplicity itself. He walked the earth neither
seeing or hearing
anything around him. As he rolled
his portly figure through the streets, his hands in his

young friend gave of the lady? With what gusto he
dwelt upon each charm! May Heaven forgive me, but
strange thoughts forced them selves uppermost ! The
couplet of the poet flashed on me as he proceeded—
" fie best can paint a star,
Who first has dippesihispencil in' ---"
fie came to a dead stop---a roar from the bar broke upon
the silence, when Peter, looking as if 'list awake, brayed
out to his junior, " the name of Providence, what are
they all laughing at?" The old stop—the vacant stare
—the earnest interrogatory—produced an effect which
sets description at defiance. Peter repaid the friendship
of Lord Plunket with a return bordering on idolatry.
In the memorable contest between his friend and Mr.
Oroker for the representation of the University, the
state of the poll might have been gathered from his
aspect—bright or black as the votes alternated. At last
victory declared itself, and out he rushed into the court-
yard as thoroughly intoxicated with joy as ever was
Irish gentleman with whisky! In aught which affected
the interests of his friend, his faculties embarked them-
selves till they became perfectly bewildered. Some still
living, perhaps, may remember his motion for a criminal
information against a printer, in the matter of Robert
Emmett. It was a subject which deeply affected the
feelings of Mr. Plunket, and no wonder. Emmett was
represented in his dying speech to have reproached him
as for which he was about
to thesuffer—as ac
constant guest at his
father's table, and of having, after being warmed in his
bosom, stung his son to death ; a dreadful accusation,
but utterly unfounded. The assertions were not true,
and Emmett never gave them utterance. He was far too

It is gratifying to record that, through Lord Plunket's
friendship, the last days of Burr owes were those of ease
and contentment. About two years ago he died in

sioner. He and John Parsons, uncle to Lord Bosse,
