Estate, within amile of Oxford, was offered through the re-
gister on the 23d of May, after a public meeting on the 16th.
at Oxford, at whinh a deputation from the board attended,
to explain the mode of allotment. The sale of the plots on
this picturesque property is making good progress. An
arrangement has been made for the supply of water to every
villa or house that may be built on the estate. No time
will be lost to complete the roads, as intimation has already
been given of an intention to commence building opera-
tions forthwith. On the same day of allotment,
four well-secured freehold ground-rents, on the Battersea
, estate, were offered, and readily taken by holders of early
rights of choice. The Conservative Land Society has
acquired its forty-first estate, by a second purchase in.
Hertfordshire. The land has one frontage to the Ware-
road, being the continuation of Fore-street, in the town of
Hertford, and the other frontage is in the Station-road, or
1 Railway-place. As this property is immediately adjacent
to the Hertford Terminus of the Ware and Hertford branch
(from Broxbourne Junction)
i of the Eastern Counties Rail-
way—Cambridge Line, and s built up to on all sides, more
eligible sites for building could not be found in the increas-
ing town of Hertford, There are twenty-six plots, of
which one is priced at £33 95., two at £36115. 6d., five at
£40155., two at £4l 165., four at £42 175., three at £45 195.,
one at £49 25., two at £6B 195., one at £72 ls. 6d., three at
£lO4 95., one at £lO7 125., and one at £ll4 18s. No
time having been lost in the legal arrangements,
the Executive Committee are in a position to
allot this highly eligible estate on the 18th of July.
The Executive Committee, in making the announcement of
the above allotment, have the satisfaction of adding, that
on the same day will be offered, through the Register of
Rights, a first portion of the Roehampton Park Estate, and
the Camberwell houses. In mapping 26 plots for selection
on the Roehampton plan, the committee have kept in view
two important considerations ; the first, that the sale of the
land to be offered on the 18th of July will not in the
slightest degree interfere with the future disposal of
the mansion, and as much of the park attached thereto,
as any nobleman or gentleman may desire to purchase;
and secondly, that the laying out of the 26 plots shall be in
harmony with the portions of land previously sold for
first class villas. The sites selected for the present al-
lotment are in the south-west part of the estate, partaking
of both the Richmond-park and Putney-heath boundaries,
with the finely wooded scenery and immunity from being
built against which the Royal .park and Putney-heath both
secure. The plots will be sold land-tax and tithe free, the
prices including cost of conveyance and every expense, save
the timber, which will be paid for by valuation if the purchaser
elects to take the trees with the land. There will be one
plot at £lO2 75., one at £lO3 Bs., one at £lO4 95., one at
£lO5 105., one at £lO6 lls., one at £lO7 125., eight at £lOB
135., one at £lO9 145., one at £19465., one at £l9B 9s. 6d.,
one at £2Ol 12e., two at £206 165., one at £266 75., one at
£475 55., one at £487 los. 6d., one at £626 145., one at £630
18s„ and one at £696 13s. 6d., the quantities varying from
36 perches up to la. lr. 3p. Both on„ the Hertford and
Roehampton Estates the takers of each plot will have the
privilege of borrowing seven-eights of the cost, paying the
balance in monthly or other instalments, at the rate of 10s.
per month for every £5O worth of land. The freehold
houses included in the allotment of Wednesday, the 18th
inst., are situated in Denmark road, Camberwell, in the
parishes of Camberwell and Lambeth, and are offered land
tax redeemed and tithe free. Every house is let, produc-
ing the following rents—Herne Cottage, £3O ; Clifton
Cottage, £3O ; Denmark Cottage, £23 ; No. 8, Denmark-
place, £23 •, No. 5, £24 ; No. 6, £22 ; No. 7, £23 ;
No. 8, £24, No. 10, £22. The allotted prices, conveyance
free, will be from £350 to £455 each, according to situation
and size. The taker of one or more of the hcuses will have
the option of completing the purchase within a month from
the day of allotment, or availing himself of the borrowing
power of three-fourths of the cost, paying the loan in.
monthly or other instalments, under the society's loan
scales. The executive committee beg to remind allottees on
the society's estates in various counties, that Friday, the
20th of July, is the final day for sending in claims for the
freehold franchise in counties. The solicitor must be sup-
plied with the necessary deeds to substantiate, free of ex-
pense to the members, claims at the Registration Courts,
the applicants specifying the most convenient polling dis-
trict to vote, in the county in which their property is situated.
Changes of residence or alterations in qualification should be
at once made known at the society's offices. As the next
general election may take place under the registration of
1860, the earliest attention of holders of plots is requested,
that they may be duly registered.
The resolution for the reception of the report was carried
A unanimously.
