Ali R. W. W. S[MPSON has received inst rur.t ions
IV -from the Trustees of the late John Christie, Esq., to SELL
by AUCTION, at the Mart oa TUESDAY, November 10, at Twelve,
An exceedingly valuable FREEHOLD and COPY HOLD EsTATE,
eligibly situate in the parishes of Irchester and Wymington, within
three miles of the capital market town of Wellingborough, and two
miles only ,nim the railway station, which is within about half an hour's
transit by railway to the important county town of Northampton.
It comprises a tarmhouse and suitable agricultural building., toge-
ther with 304 acres of land, including 237 acres of arable, generally
of easy tilia:.•,e and deep staple, much the larger surface of which,
under prover cultivation, adapts itself to the turnip and bailey course
of husbandry ; and the entire arable cur lce of the estate is grateful,
and in fair average season', yields abundantly in corn, leguininete,
and green crops in all their varieties. The meadow rnd pasture
lands are to a considerable extent of good feeding and dairy quality ;
still they are, however, susceptible of improvements relating to
draining, &c., which, if carried out, would increase their present pni-
ductiveness; the sane observation will apply to certain portions of
the arable surface of the estate. As it would not be prudent fit
tenants of uncertain tenure to incur this earrantiture. the following
clause is inserted in the agreeme it:—" In addition to the ,ent, the
tenants are to pay six per cent. on the ow lay of the lan•• lord for
which ,•ainage th.• landlord is to do according to a specifica-
tiontobe agreed unon between the tenants and ‘I r. W. W. Gardner,
the mein to the vendors.' The above .arm is in the occupation of
sir. James Mather, yearly tenant, who renewed his agreement at
Michaelmas. 1845, at a rent of 582/. lOs per annum. Mr. Mather
and • is fa oily have been located on the estate fur nearly a century.
Mr. Mather is not only wealthy, but of excellent character ; a first
class cultivator and manager i.-enerally; he stocks highly, and, at the
present period has a flock of 600 sheep, between the Leicester and
Down, superior in regard to frame and quality of wool. Also a
irab e Farm adjoining, with farm-house and agricultural bull I-
' ings, and about IL3 Acres 01 deep urfaced and exceedingly produc-
tive arable land, including a small field of pasture, in the occupation
of Miss Elizabeih Frost, a highly respectable yearly tenant, from
Michaelmas, 1'45, at a rent of 220/. per annum. The family of Miss
Frost have been tenan.. on this estate upwards of 40 years. The
arable surface partakes very much of the same description and qua-
lity as Mr. Mather's occupation, with the exception that there is not
qui' e so large a proportion kindly to the turnip course; still there are
very .ew fields on the entire estate where turnips are not grown and
folded oft. Also about 24 acres of excellent arable land, called
Avenue Close, in the occupation of the Rev. Charles Partridge, vicar,
tenant ,tom year to year, at a rent of 471. 10s. per annum, for the
purpose of being let to labourers as allotments. The copy hold por-
tion of the above property is in the parish of Irchester, and pays an
annual quit-rent of 31. 16s. 3d., and a fine of the like amount
on
is,
or death, to the lord of the manor of Irchester
it therefore, equal In value to freehold. The apportioned
tithe rent-charge on the whole estate amounts to 61 14s. 3d.
only, and which is paid by the tenants, therefore it may
be considered virtually tithe rent-charge free. In respect
to the permanency of the rentals Mr. Simpson refers to
the best test, namely the characteri of the tenants, who have so re-
cer ay taken their occupation at the present rents, added to the de-
sire expressed by them to3bfer.conttinued on their farms in the event

c'
survey,hee Simpsonti having made a most minute
asserts it is one of the most desirablesmate of the property, tearlessly
estates for occupation and the
secure investment of capital he has seen in the course of his ex-
tensive experience.

The property may be ♦iewed, and particulars (with plans an-
nexed) may be obtained of Mr. Wm. Henry Cotterill, solicitor, 32,
Throgmorton-street, City ; of George Burnham, Esq , solicitor,
Wellingborough; of Mr. W. W. Gardner, Biggleswade; and of Mr.
