NORTHAMPTONSHIRE,

Within TWO MILES ,;ihe---IVELiiK"G7BOI7.OITII STATION, ex=
ceedingly VALUABLE F STATE, consisting of 468 ACRES of very
excellent ARABLE; MEADOW, DAIRY, and GRAZING LAND,
lying within a RING FENCE.
11 R. W. W. SIMPSON has received instructions
from the Trustees of the late John Christie, Esq., to SELL
by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TrEsnar, November DO,
at Twelve o'clock,
An exceedingly valuable FREEHOLD and COPYHOLD ESTATE,
eligibly situate in the parishes of Irchester and Wyrnington, within
three'miles of the capital market town of Wellingborough, and two
miles only from the railway station, which is within about half an
hour's transit by railway to the important town of Northampton.
It comprises a farmhouse and suitable agricultural buildings, toge-
ther with 304 acres of land, including 237 acres of arable, generally
of easy and deep staple, much the larger surface of which,
under proper cultivation, adapts it=clf to the turnip and barley course
of husbandry ; and the entire arable stir'ace of the estate is grateful,
and in fair average seasons yields abundantly in corn, leguminous,
and green crops in all their varieties. The meadow :,nd 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 pro-
ductiveness; the same observation will apply to certain portions of
the arable surtitce of the estate. As 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 rent, the
tenants are to pay six per cent. on the outlay of the landlord for
drainage, which ,rainage the landlord is to do according to a specifica-
tion to be agreed upon between the tenants and Mr. W. W. Gardner,
the agent to the vendors." The above farm is in the occupation of
Mr. James Mather, yearly tenant, who renewed his agreement at
Michaelmas, 1845, at a rent of 5821. 10s. per annum. Mr. Mather
and his family have been located on the estate for nearly a century.
Mr. Mather is not only wealthy, but of excellent character ; a first
class cultivator and manager generally; he stocks highly, and, at•tho
present period has a flock of 600 sheep, between the Leicester and
Down, superior in regard to frame and quality of wool. Also a
desirab,e Farm adjoining, with farm-house and agricultural build-
ings, and about 138 Acres of deep surfaced and exceedingly produc-
tive arable land, including a small field of pasture, in the occupation
of Miss Elizabeth Frost, a highly respectable yearly tenant, from
Michaelmas, 1845, at a rent of 2201. per annum. The family of Miss
Frost have been tenants 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
quite so large a proportion kindly to the turnip course; still there are
very few fields on the entire estate where turnips are not grown and
folded off. Also about 24 acres of excellent arable land, called
Avenue Close, in the occupation of the Rev. Charles Partridge, vicar,
tenant from year to year, at a rent of 471. 10s. per annum, for the
purpose of being let to labourers as allotments. The copyhold por-
tion of the above property is in the parish of Irchester, and pays an
annual quit-rent of 31. 16s. 3d., and a flue of the like amount
on alienation or death, to the lord of the manor of Irchester :
it is, 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
that best test, namely the character of the tenants, who have so re-
cently taken their occupation at the present rents, added to the de-
sire expressed by them to be continued on their farms in the event
of the estate being sold. Mr. Simpson having made a most minute
survey, field by field, and careful estimate of the property, fearlessly
asserts it 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 shortly be obtained of Mr. Wm. Henry Cotterill, solicitor, 112,
Throgmorton-street, City ; of George Burnham, Esq , solicitor,
Wellingborough ; of Mr. W. W. Gardner, Biggleswade; and of Mr.
W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury, London.
