Approximating on Gatton Park.-176 Acres of Freehold Land,

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,

By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the White Hart, Reigate, on TUESDAY, the 20th of October,
at One for Two o'Clock precisely, in Eight Lots,
A VALUABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY.
It includes
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX ACRES
of excellent Land, with Farm House and Buildings, most invitingly
placed to suit the views of all those who would desire
DETACHED VILLAS AND LAND
in the best part of Surrey. Nature in her wise dispensations, it
should almost seem, destined this heretofore but little productive
Land (having been used for agricultural purposes alone) to hold a
higher rank in society. It will not be difficult to demonstrate this
fact by a single illustration :
THE FAR-FAMED GATTON ESTATE, AND ITS

WOODLAND SCENERY,
is the natural boundary to a considerable extent, while in the opposite
direction is hill and dale and groves of trees, which extend to the
HIGH ROAD TO BRIGHTON,
And about two miles from Reigate.

It includes altogether
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX ACRES OF
LAND.

A commentary beyond this might be construed as the work of su-
pererogation ; for where, it may be confidently asked, is a parallel
case to be found? Villas, partaking of all the agremens of Gatton,
without encountering any of its expenses ; within three hours'
drive of Brighton, and two of the Royal Exchange, in the centre
of the best hunting, and lots of shooting, it is believed hold out
temptations not easily resisted, and it will be consolatory to those who
accord with these sentiments, and.participate in the lively feelings of
such an agreeable remove from town, that fancy prices (however
much the situation would commend it), are in this case removed,
and the merchant or banker who would recreate within a short drive
of his daily mercantile operations, will not have to draw largely on
his purse-strings in accomplishing the desired object in view.
A. plan, which will accurately show its proximity to Gatton end
the London-road, with the division of each lot, will be ready 20 days
antecedent to the sale ; and then had at the Cock, Sutton ; White
Hart, Reigate ; Greyhound, Croydon ; of Messrs. Lowdham,
Parke, and Freeth, Solicitors, Lincoln's Inn-fields ; Messrs. Burt
and Son, Solicitors, Reigate ; the Mart ; and at Mr. George
Robins's offices, London.

WORTON HALL, ON THE SKIRTS OF ISLEWORTH.
A Mansion House and Offices, with extensive Pleasure Grounds,
Kitchen Gardens of great extent, Conservatories and Orangery,
with Twelve and a Half Acres of Park Meadows, and imme-
diate possession ; and, if desired, the Furniture, at a fair Valua-
tion.

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 15th of October,
at Twelve o'Clock, and peremptorily, by direction of the respected
Proprietor, who is gone abroad,
AFREEHOLD MANSION and OFFICES,
upon a Moderate Scale, formed upon a plan which includes
what is now better understood as
A VILLA RESIDENCE.

It is delightfully situate in the vicinity of Isleworth, not far from
the River, and without any of its inconveniences. It has for
many a year claimed to be distinguished from its neighbouring
compeers as
WORTON HALL,

presenting a commanding outward appearance, stuccoed over an
admirable specimen of Brick Work. Its uniformity from the front,
which commands

THE LAWNS AND PLEASURE GROUNDS,
has always been esteemed as in good keeping with the whole, and
it possesses the peculiarity of claiming the character of a Mansion,
with all its fruitful wants and appendages, without being in any way
so large as to partake of the inconvenience of being over housed.
It will, however, be satisfactory to know that all the legitimate wants
of a respectable family will be found conspicuous throughout; and
the offices of every description quite commensurate. The good taste
that has been displayed in forming the grounds will at once be re-
cognised, although it should in justice be said they have not been
expensively kept up ; but there is so much to incline the possessor
to luxuriate in these grounds, that he must indeed be fastidious over-
much, who does not commend the taste which originally presided
over them.
A SPLENDID CONSERVATORY AND ORANGERY,
WITH POND AND FOUNTAIN FOR GOLD FISH
are amongst the agremens ; and the several kitchen gardens, en-
compassed by lofty walls, with a range of Conservatories, and Or-
chards of prolific Growth, not only render it independent of an
auxiliary from Covent-Garden, but, to an economist, would realise
his best expectations from the superfluity that would be available
in so profitable a source.
The PARK, MEADOWS, and DOMAIN,

altogether
TWELVE AND A HALF ACRES,

and form a most agreeable appendage to the abode ; and the timber
and forest trees, with the never-ending American plants, render it
an abode especially adapted to those who would domiciliate throug-
out the wintry months. If more land is desired, the lands of the
DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND
may be rented to any convenient extent.
Particulars may be had twenty-one days previous to the sale, and
to be had at the Inns at Richmond, Isleworth, and Twickenham ;
Messrs. Leblanc, Oliver, and Cook, Solicitors, New Bridge-
street ; Mr. Piggatt, jun., House Agent, Richmond.
The Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins' Offices in Co-
vent-Garden, where a drawing of the Villa may be seen.

PRICE 7D.

CITY OF LONDON.
ST. LEONARD, EASTCHEAP.
The ease of Mr. Evans, which was adjourned yesterday,
expressly that Mr. Evani might be examined personally as
'to his residence—eves' other point in the case having been
proved—was resumed.
Mr. Evans proved that he resided within the limits re-
quired by the Act.
A warm and irregular discussion took place, when Mr.
TANtLvN,,said that he was of opinion that the time of the
Court had better not be wasted in discussing the propriety
or impropriety of the proceedings, the questions were put,
and satisfactorily answered, and the objection was disallowed.
In the case of Mr. G. M. Boyes, which was argued on
a former day,
Mr. TAMLYN gave judgment, deciding against the lega-
lity of the rate, and thus determining the question.

COMMON PLEAS.
In- the parish of St. Dunstan's in the East, the claim of
Mr. Wood had been objected to, on the ground that the
rates had not been paid within the time required by the Act.
This ease, and that of Mr. Woodhouie, which was of a
similar character, were ordered to stand over for judgment.
The COURT was occupied a great part of the day in dis-
cussing the claims of Mr. Justice Alderson, and the other
Judges, to vote in respect of chambers in Sergeants' Inn.
Judgment, however, was reserved till to-morrow or next
day, until when we shall reserve our report of the details
of the case.

BOROUGH OF FINSBURY.
(Before Mr. MERIVALE.)
ST. ANDREW'S PARISH.
A person claimed to have his name inserted in the list of
voters, who had served a notice of claim on the overseer,
of the date of July 17. The claim was objected to by Mr.
Mourylian, on the ground that the original list of voters was
not made out by the overseers until after the 20th of July.
Mr. MERIVALE decided that there could be no good
claim to be inserted in the list until it had been exhibited
on the church doors. The claim was, therefore, disallowed.
In another case, in which the landlord of a house com-
pounded for the rates, it was contended that the claimant
was entitled to have his name in the registry, on the ground
that the word " inmate" was attached to the name of the
landlord in the rate-book.
Mr. MERIVALE disallowed the claim, on the ground
that there was not sufficient evidence of a distinct holding.
Of the claims made, 5 were rejected, 29 were allowed,
and the remainder were adjourned.
G. Kent was objected to by Mr. Winch, on the part of
the Reformers, and his name was struck out of the list.
Mr. R. Ramsden, of Compton-terrace, was objected to
on the ground that he was already entitled to vote, as the
occupier of premises in New-square, Lincoln's-inn.
Mr. MERIVALE did not like, without consideration, to
strike the name out of the list.
Some other objections on the same ground were with-
drawn.

The result was, that out of twenty-eight objections, nine
were struck out, nine were adjourned, and ten were allowed.
(Before Mr. CHAPMAN.)
PARISH OF ST. JAMES, CLERKENWELL.
The number of persons claiming to be entered on the
list for this parish is 160 ; and the number of objections
made by the overseers is 28.
Mr. George Clay's claim was objected to on the ground
that the claimant had not been rated a twelvemonth. The
claim was rejected.
Several notices of claims were objected to by Mr. Arden
for irregularity in the service of them.
Mr. William Coster's claim was objected to on the ground
that his assessment was under 101.
Proof of the annual value having been given in this case
as well as in other cases, the claims were allowed.
The result of this day's revision before Mx. Chapman,
stands thus :
Tory objections
Sustained .....
Stand over

Reform claims.. 75
Sustained
Disallowed ..
Stand over
PARISH OF ST. SEPULCHRE.
There were no objections. There were five Reform
claimants, all of whom were rejected on the ground of their
not having been rated.

COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX.
NEW RIVER SHARES.
The question in this important case was, whether the
New River Company could claim in respect of the shares
held by them in said Company.
Mr. COVENTRY went at great length into the question,
and after taking an elaborate review of the case, and the
precedents bearing on it, concluded his judgment by saying
after the best consideration I can give this case, I must
disallow all these votes, and I do so wit lj less hesitation, as I
am apprized that similar claims have been made in the
county of Hertford, and the Gentlemen for that county
will, I am sure, give the case every attention, independently
of my opinion."
RIGHTS OF TRUSTEES.

Mr. Evans, the barrister, who claimed as a trustee, was
heard in support of his claim, and was followed by Mr.
Field on the general question.
Mr. Ady and Mr. Gregory having argued against the
right of trustees,
Mr. COVENTRY said that he had several times considered
the question, and was obliged to do now what he had done
on former occasions—namely, to give such a construction
as would reconcile the two conflicting clauses, rather than
expunge a whole section for three words of doubtful mean-
ing, and positively inconsistent with the nature of trust
estatesrfor strictly speaking no trustee, as such, can be bene-
ficially interested, and the argument that allows a trustee
to vote when he has a small interest secured to him to go
the whole length of allowing validity to the 23d section.
He was of opinion that in the case of a conveyance unto,
and to the use of, A. 8., his heirs and assigns, in trust for
C. D., his heirs and assigns, if A. B. were in actual posses-
sion or receipt of the rents and profits, he fell within the
obvious' meaning of the 23d section, and he must draw his
pen through that section if he did not admit him. This he
could not consent to do, and there might be cases where the
property would be totally unrepresented if that were not
allowed. He could not admit a construction which would
end in that sweeping disfranchisement so obviously at
variance with the spirit and meaning of the Act. At the
same time he must say, that he had great difficulty in
allowing trustees to vote who were only in potasession con-
structively. Take, for instance, the 60 trustees of Exeter-
hall ; if only one were in actual possession, h e could not
register the remaining 59. He admitted I;hat, legally
speaking, the possession of one joint tenant was the posses-
sion of all ; but* this Act dealt with actual and not con-
structive possession, and therefore the evil of multiplying
votes did not seem to him to apply.
Mr. MARTIN held a different opinion. A bona dide and
really well-qualified voter, said the learned gentloman, is
injured when a mere parchment voter is placed on 'she same
footing with him.
The Barristers then stated, that as they so wid bly differed
in opinion, the only way to put the case would 'be, that all
trustees who hacl_ claimed ,beferp Mr. Coventry should be,
allowed, and all trustees who bad been heard 'before Mr.
Martin should be expunged.

LAND TAX QUESTION.
The case of the two Messrs. Nicholson depent is on the
construction of sections 123, 154, of 42 Geo. 111 c. 116,
and on the peculiar nature of copyhold property.
Judgment was given in this important case. It was held
by Mr. Martin, that the Land-tax redeemed on a Copybold
is real estate, and the names of these claimants were ac-
cordingly allowed.
The vote of Mr. Edwards, according to the t same argu-
ment, must be expunged.
