NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.,

Within TWO MILES of the WELLINGBOROUII STATION, ex-
ceedingly VALUABLE ESTATE, consisting of 468 ACRES of very
excellent ARABLE, MEADOW, DAIRY, and GRAZING LAND,
lying within a RING FENCE.
MR. W. W. SIMPSON has received instructions
from the Trustees Of the late John Christie, Esq., to SELL
by AUCTION, at the Mart, on TuEsnAr, November 10, at Twelve,
An exceedingly valuable FREEHOLD and COP YHOLD ESTATE,
eligibly situate in the parishes of Irchester and Wymington, within
three miles of the capital market town of Wellingborough, and two
miles only from the railway station, which is within about lialfan hour's
transit by railway to the important county 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 tillage and deep staple, much the larger surface of which,
under proper cultivation, adapts itself to the turnip and barley course
of husbandry ; and the entire arable surface of the estate is grateful,
and in fair average seasons yields abundantly in corn, leguminous,
and green crops in all their varieties. The meadow and pasture
lands are to a considerable extent of good feeding and dairy quality ;
still they are, however, susceptible of improvements relating to
draining, &T., which, if carried out, would increase their present pro-
ductiveness; the same observation will apply to certain portions of
the arable surface 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 agreementaddition to landlord the
tenants are to pay six per cent.• on the outlay of the 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 582/. 10s. per annum. Mr. Mather
and his family hav,e been located or; 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 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
desirable 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
an
nitnnitial quit-rent of 31. 16s. 3d., and a fine of the like amount

The apportioned

tithe :
on the whole estate amounts to 61. 14s. 3d.
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 chaaraicter of the tenants, who have so re-
