IRELAND.--COUNTY OF AN TRIM
One of the most improving and extensive FEE SIMPLE ES
TATES in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the
greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the county.
rtillt• \V. \V. SIMPSON has the honour to an-
t v_n_
nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro-
prietor, and intends to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION, early
in the month of JUNE, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast,
The GALGOR NI or GLENAHERTY, the BRAID, and
KELLS ES'TA TES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of
these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys
of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. The Galgorm
Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a
considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable improve
ments. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of
superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great
volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens,
beetling and corn mills, in the occ•mation of wealthy and respect-
able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or
connected with the various branches of the linen trade; the ma-
jority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of
Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The
bogs attached to the estates are very valuable, and there are exten-
sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands,
abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate
neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a
mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20
miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a
surfa,e of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Rail-
way, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pro-
perty, as will also two other railways in contemplation.
Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time, be ob.
tained of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, solicitors, Merrion-square,
Dublin; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18,
Bucklersbury.
M. Simpson, from obvio,is reasons, which need no explanation
to the public, has recommene'ed his noble and other proprietors of
Irish estates to defer those sales which were intended for April to
the month of June.
Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the
above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of
his pamphlet has been published, on which the " Times" news-
paper made the following review r—" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the
well known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator,
has recently published a pamphlet, entitled A Defence of the Land-
lords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord
and Tenant, The' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work,
gives the following character of its author:—' Mr. Simpson, we
scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman, of vast ex-
perience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land
in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com-
prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong,
and a stuck of practical knowlege and sterling sense which falls to
the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life.
With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business,
almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac-
quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much,
wrhaps, as any man in his time to improve tier resources, by en-
couraging the investment of British capital in every department of
Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be
beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or
iartiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is
,uestionably unimpeachable.' "
