MAGNIFICENT ESTATES and noble RESIDENCE, in SOUTH
LANCASHIRE, within 14 miles of Liverpool; comprising the
extensive and very vqluable domains and manors of BOLD, BUR-
TON WOOD, and SUTTON, presumed to be one of the most im-
portant and improving properties that has ever been offered for
_ sale.

MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON have
been honoured with instructions from the Proprietor to OF-
FER for SALE, in AUGUST next (if not previously disposed of),
the above truly magnificent and very valuable FREEHOLD ES-
TATES, together nearly 7,000 statute acres, embracing some of
the finest land in the county, and almost in a ring fence.
They embrace i he important Manor of Bold, with its splendid man-
sion, gar.lens, park, noble woods, lake, and plantations, all in excel-
' lent order, and distinguished as the Bold Hall Estate, and comprising
within itself about 4,300 acres most superbly timbered, and well
stocked with game; .also the ]iurtonwood Estate adjoining,
containing numerous small farms ; together with the Sutton
Estate, closely contiguous, consisting of about I,o3o,lllacres of
excellent land skirting the prosperous and rapidly improving town of
St. Helens, and containing mines of superior coal and also beds of
clay of great value for pottery purposes. The whole of these
fine estates (with the exception of the parks and demesne
farm, which aro in hand) are let to responsible tenants at
moderate rents, and produce between 11,0001, and 12,0001. per
annum, exclusive of royalties and rents receivable from coal mines,
which must annually increase. The limits of an advertisement will
only admit of a brief outline of the numerous natural and great local
advantages of this most important and splendid domain. The Man-
sion of Bold stands upon a fine elevated part of the park, which
contains about 600 acres, richly studded with noble timber, and
skeitered by venerable oak woods of the finest growth. Within the
park are the remains of the ancient hall, raoated round, and which,
from a period little later than the conquest, has been the seat of the
maternal ancestors of the present owner. The Sutton Estates
possesses rare advantages, is intersected by the London and North
Western and St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railways, and, from its
position and nature, its value annually increasing. The St.
Helen's Coal-field, containing an average thickness of 70 feet of coal,
is believed to extend under a considerable portion of the Sutton
Estate ; part of such mines are already in lease, and must be the
source of a vast revenue. The Sutton station of the London and
North Western Railway is distant about a mile from Bold Hall,
affording easy access to all parts of the kingdom. Warrington is
distant from Bold five miles and a half, Liverpool only 14, Manches-
ter 20, and London less than 200. The Bold and Burtenwood Do-
mains and Manors may be purchased without the Sutton Property,
which will be offered in various lots.

For further particulars and cards to view the property and to treat
for the purchase apply at their offices, in Waterloo-place, Pall-mall,
London : particulars may also be had of Messrs. Rowson and Cross,
solicitors, Prescot, Lancashire ; or Mr. Alexander Bannerman, land

About nine o'clock on Saturday morning the inmates
of Coldbath-fields prison were thrown into the greatest
consternation by a report that William Woodhouse, one
of the wardens stationed in yard No. 5 of the old prison,
had been murdered by a prisoner named George James
Hewson, who was committed from the Old Bailey in the
session of November last, convicted of concealing the
birth of an illegitimate child, the incestuous issue of his
own daughter, a young woman 18 years of age, who
was sentenced at the same sessions for the same offence
to nine months' incarceration in the above prison. Not-
withstanding the privacy unnecessarily persevered in by
the authorities at the prison, the refusal of the gover-
nor, Mr. Chesterton, to deliver up the murderer to In
spector Penny of the G division for examination before a
magistrate, and the, jealous exclusion of persons con-
nected with the press from the prison, the following
particulars, furnished to our reporter by an eye-
witness, may be relied upon :—The deceased man,
Woodhouse, who was only thirty-three years of age, and
during his five years and a half servitude in the esta-
blishment bore the character of a steady, sober, and
humane officer, had occasion, on Saturday morning, to
report the prisoner to the governor for talking, contrary
to the prison regulations, and was directed to lock him
up in his cell until further orders. He proceeded to do
so just as the men in the yard were preparing to go to
morning prayers, but before locking the cell he went in
to remove the pannikin in which the prisoner had had
his food. He was about to close the door on his return,
conveeyepdrtusootah,e
when Hewson lifted up his arm and with great violence
struck him a downward blow, saying,. " Take flint." The
deceased staggered , back, but was instantly supported
