31 R. kV. W. SIMPSON has received instructions
from the Trustees of the late John Christie, Esq., to SELI,
by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TUESDAY, November 10,
at Twelve o'clock, .

An exceedingly valuable FREEHOLD and COPY MOLD ESTATE,
eligibly situate in the parishes of Trchester. and Wymington, within
three miles of the Capital market town Wellingborough, awl two
miles only from the railway station, which is within about half an
hour's transit by railway to the inurortant own of Northampton.
comprises a farmhouse and suitabb. agricultural buildings, toge-
ther with 304 acres of land, bicluding 237 acres of arable, generally
of easy tillkee and deep staple, much the larger surface of which,
under proper cultivation, adapts itself to the turnip and barley course
of husbandry ; and th , entire arable surace of the estate is grateful,
And in fair average season' yields abundantly in corn, leguminou,,
and green crops in all rind,' varieties. The meadow end pasture
lands are to a considerable extent of good reeding and dairy quality ;
they are, however, sasceptible of improvements relating to
draining, &c., which. if carried out, would increase their present pro-
ductivein:ss ; the same observation will apply to certain portions of
the arable surface of the estate. _Sit it would not be prudent for
tenants of uncertain tenure to incur this expenditure, the following
clause is inserted in the agreements:—" In addition to the tent, the
ten,nts are to pay six per cent. on the ()allay of the landlord for
•trailtage,which rainage th, landlord is to do accottling.to a specifica-
tion to be agreed upon between the tenants and Mr. W. W. tlar,ner,
:he agent to the vendors." The above farm is in the occupation of
James Mather, yearly tenant, who renewed his agreement at
Michaelmas, 1645, at a rent of 5821. lOs per annum. Mr. Mather
and As Ctlnfly have been located on the estate for nearly a ceidury.
11r. Mother is not only wealthy, but of excellent character; a first
lass cultivator and manager i;enerally; he stocks highly, and, at the
,rres,nt period has a flock of 600 sheep, between the Leicester and
l)own, superior in regard to frame and quality of wool. Also a
c Farm adjoining, with farm-house and agricultural buil I-
ngs, and about 138 Acres of deep surfaced and ex,,,,lingly produc-
tve arable land, including a small field of pasture, in the occupation
d' Miss Elizabeth Frost, a highly respectable yearly tenant, from
dichaelmas, 1545, at a rent of 2201. per annum. The family of Miss
"root have been tenants on this estate upwards of 40 years. The
trable surface partakes very much of the same description and qua-
ty as Mr. Nltther'a occupation, with the exception that there is not
suite so large a proportion kindly to the turnip course; still there are
cry few fields on the entire estate where turnips tire not grown and
tided oft. Also about 24 acres of excellent arable land, called
Avenue fpose, in the occupation of the Rev. Charles Partridge, vicar,.
• errant from year to year, 'at a rent of 471. 10s. per annum, for the
purpose of being let to
labourers

ion t,f the above property is in the parish of Irchester, and pays an
Lonnai oult•rent of 3/. 16s. 3d., and a fine of the like amount
,n adenation or death, to the lord of the manor of Irchester :

is, therefore. equal In value to freehold

The apportioned

tithe rent-clurge on the whole estate amounts to 61 14s. 3d.
only, and which is paid by the tenants, therefore it may
he considered virtually tithe rent-charge free. In respect
to the permanency of the rentals Mr. Simpson refers to
that best test, namely the character of the tenants, who have so re-
cently taken tiler occupation at the pre,ent rents, added to the de-
sire expressed by-them to bd continued on their farms in the event
of the estate being so!el. Mr. Simpson having made a most minute
survey, field by field, and careful estimate of the property, fearlessly

assertsit is one of the most desirable estates for occupation and the
secure investment of capital he has seen in the course of his ex-
tensive experience.

The property may be viewed, and particulars (with plans annexed)
may now he obtained of Mr. William Henry Cotterill, solicitor, 32,
Throgmorton-street, City ; of George Burnham, Esq , solicitor,
Wellingborough ; of Mr. W. W. Gardner, Biggleswade; and of Mr.
W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury, London.
