NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.

Within TWO MILES of the WELLINGBOROUII STATION, ex-
ceedingly VALUABLE ESTATE, consisting of 468 ACR KS 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 TUESDAY, November 10, at Twelve,
An exceedingly valuable FREEHOLD and COPYHOLD 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 halfan 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 amide surf 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 :,fid pasture
lands are to a considerable extent of good feeding and dairy quality ;
still they are, however, sasceptible 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 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 agreement:—" 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
Michaelma.s, 1845, at a rent of 5821. lOs 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 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
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 220/. 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 oft. 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 copyhoid 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

to the permanency of the rentals Mr. Simpson refers to
the 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-
mandHpotrticulars (with plans an-
nexed) experience.
