SALES BY AUCTION

ON THE BORDERS OF SUFFOLK, AT OTTEN AND
WALTER BELCHAMP.
220 ACRES of FIRST-RATE LAND—A VERY SAFE IN.
VESTMENT—THREE MILES from CLARE, and FIVE from
SUDBURY.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS begs to announce
that he has received instructions from the Executors
of the late James Thompson, Esq. (deceased), to offer to PUBLIC
COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY Nix;
the 16th of May, at Twelve o'Clock, in one Lot,
A VALUABLE FREEHOLD FARM,

comprising
220 A. IR. 17 e. OF EXCELLENT LAND,
situate in the Parishes of Otten Belchamp and Walter Belchamp,
in Essex, and within a stone's throw of •
THE COUNTY OF SUFFOLK.
A great portion of this little estate is in prime condition, highly
cultivated, and excellently farmed, and affords ample security
whereon to invest capital to advantage, with the agreeable pros.
pect of rewarding the purchaser with a return of
THREE-AND-A-HALF TO FOUR PER CENT. UPON
HIS PURCHASE.
Mr. Robins feels so perfectly satisfied with the tact exhi.
bited by the tenant (whose Lease expires at Michaelmas, 1846,
but who will be nothing loth to renew it) in the management of
this little farm, that he cannot too strongly recommend It to those
who are in search of
A SECURE INVESTMENT,
At Otten Belchamp there are as good wheat, barley, and turnip
lands as will be found in any county; the young wheat is looking
remarkably healthy, and gives fair promise of abundant crops ; and
the red wheat, oats, barley, and beans of last year's harvest, are
quite equal in body, soundness, and quality to the best samples
shown at Mark-lane.
THE FARM-HOUSE AND BUILDINGS,
are in good order, afford plenty of accommodation to one of
the very best tenants in the kingdom, a man of substanse, who
pays a very low rent of
3201. PER ANNUM
without a murmur. The Farmstead was originally designated
HOBART'S HALL,
and with a trifling outlay of a few pounds might be remodelled into a
PRETTY GOTHIC ABODE,
One thing most worthy of remembrance is,
THERE ARE NO OUTGOINGS.
Not one farthing expense has been required of the worthy pro-
prietor for the last forty-five years, and Mr. Richard Chickall, the
tenant, and his family, have grown wealthy'on the Estate, and
fanned it most ddmirahly for
THE LAST HALF CENTURY.
A forcible proof (than which none can be more decisive) of the
Farm having an unimpeachable good character. Mr. Robins
suggests this as a solid investment, from the improvements wrought
upon it by an enterprising tenant, surpassing by his system all its
compeers in the neighbourhood. It is a foundation whereon to
calculate in a few years of obtaining a permanent
INCOME OF 4001. A YEAR,
Mr. Richard Chickall, the tenant, will show the estate, of whom
particulars may be had fourteen days before the sale ; also at the
Crown, Sudbury; the White Horse, Blllingdon ; the White Hart,
Halsted ; the Bell, Hedingham ; Messrs. Roy, Blunt, Johnstone,
and Walton, solicitors, Lothbury; and at Mr. George Robins's
Offices, Covent-garden.

The Living of Abbott's Roothing, the value about 5001. a-year ;
six miles from Ongar, five from Dunmow, ten from Chelmsford,
and only two hours' distant from London ; with the immediate

Curacy in view.
1/1 R. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL
by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, Lon-
don, on THURSDAY, June 13, at Twelve o'Clock, very valuable
Church Preferment.

THE ADVOWSON AND NEXT PRESENTATION TO

THE RECTORY OF ABBOTT'S ROOTHING,

in Essex, only twenty-seven miles from London. This snug living
does not aspire to a very high position in respect to income, nor
the residence to more than a domicile full of comfort. When it is
stated that
THE PRESENT GENERATION AND THEIR ANCESTRY
HAVE NUMBERED NEARLY ONE HUNDRED YEARS
in the enjoyment of these tithes, it will be imagined that modern
tactics might be employed to some advantage; observing, however,
that throughout it is replete with all the convenience and every
comfort a respectable Clergyman can -desire ; placed on a fine com-
manding spot, with a double yew hedge to protect it from the pas ing
gaze, and surrounded by a beautiful lawn and pleasure grounds,
shrubbery adorned by a conservatory, leading to
THE GLEBE OF EIGHTEEN ACRES OF VERY PROLIFIC

LAND,
es the produce from the dairy at this moment demonstrates in tan.
guage not to be misunderstood. The offices within and without
will be found abundant. Plenty of stabling, coachhouses, &c., the
whole surrounded by good roads, a capital neighbourhood, prone to
good fellowship, and so close to the Church that the Incumbent
would be perplexed in any weather for an excuse to escape his tiuty.
The churchyard confirms the general impression that the neighbour-
hood is healthy, for very few have been deposited there for the last
fifty years, and the medical profession, finding their vocation hope.
less in this vicinity, have retreated to a less congenial climate.
THE TITHES ARE COMMUTED

at' 4501., and, with the parsonage and glebe, may safely be as.
sessed at FIVE HUNDRED GUINEAS A YEAR.

The population 254, with single duty. To this may be ap.
pended a welcome fact, that the purchaser (if he be worthy of this
preference) will be immediately appointed Curate, with 1001. a
year annexed to it. The gardens are so extensive that a large
family must keep open house to consume all the product. It should
have been observed, the Church has a superior chancel, adorned
by two ancient and very fine monuments, where a portion of the
Essex family are deposited. There is a classic screen, and of good
design, to separate this from the Church, and the marble font may
safely claim an existence beyond a century. The window has some
beautiful painted glass, and is very ancient. In fact, whether it
be of the parsonage and its never.ending comforts, or of the Church
and its appointments (and the worthy Rector may be sure to be
numbered with the latter), it is an advowson that has strong claims
to public favour, and to be severely contested for.
