Slevemfile, Ballintleve, Erinagh, Ballyno, Marshaltown,
and Liggamandy, containing 3,300 acres of productive
land, principally let on leases for lives, at low rents,
amounting together to upwards of 2,3501. a-year, with
the valuable Reversionary Interests which will accrue
from time to time, as the old leases expire ; also the Town
of Downpatrick, nearly the whole of which is let on
leases for lives renewable for ever, on payment of a fine on
the fall of each life, at rents amounting to 5631. per an-
num ; together with the valuable lands adjoining, called
the Demesne of Down, comprehending 1,471 acres of su-
perior land, generally occupied by tenants at will, and pro-
ducing 2,191/. per annum; together, also, with the Inch

acres, for the mostpart let.on leases determinable, at rents
amounting to 1,172/. a year ; and also the Manorial Fees,
&c., besides a great accession of rental, which will accrue

great number of the present leases depend, added to which,
the demesne and adjoining town land, being principally
let as accommodation land, confer on the proprietor an in-
terest which could not fail to secure the representationcomprising

of land in the neighbourhood of Downpatricks'
fines arising on the renewal of the leases on lives. There
is a clause in most of the leases restraining the tenants
from assigning or subletting ; and the best proof of the
respectable character of the tenantry, and the permanency
of the present rental, which exceeds 7,5001. a year, is, that
the arrear of rent of this extensive property for the last 30
years has rarely exceeded 140/. Mr. Simpson can con-
fidently state, from his recent survey of this estate, that for
condition, as to repair and cultivation generally, respectabi-
lity of tenantry, and present and prospective permanency
in rental (the result of the excellent management which
has prevailed up to the present time on the estate), it may
vie with any property in England of equal magnitude.
