MR. ER. GEORa ROBINS is instructed to offer
for SALE by 'PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auc.
tion Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 26th of June, at Twelve
o'Cloch, in Two Lots,

A singularly. Eligible
FREEHOLD AND COPYHOLD ESTATE

(and a small portion of Leasehold), comprehending a Property
of considerable repute,

THE SHEPPING HOUSE ESTATE ♦ND DEMESNE,
extending to

SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN ACRES,
of remarkably rich old

MEADOW PASTURE, ARABLE AND HOP LANDS.
The Mansion is prepossessing, standing amidst exquisite scenery,
substantially built, and the interior is so full of accommodation that
it will suit a family of the very highest respectability, but Mr.
Robins, adopting his usual plan, cannot resist the admission that
there is left sufficient scope for tact and judgment to be displayed
in such improvements and alterations' as a mixture of good taste
and liberality will suggest.

THE GARDENS, AND PLEASURE GROUNDS
ARE EXTENSIVE,
THE WOODLAND SCENERY IN THE GROUNDS ADORNS
AND GIVES MUCH CHARACTER TO THE WHOLE.
The variety is indeed abundant, the sturdy oak (the monarch
of the forest) lifting its lofty head grouped with the cheanut,
beech, and elm, and the graceful birch blending its beauty with the
dark rich evergreens, are here and there varied by an ancient
tree, whose youthful stem might have vibrated to the echoes of
the martial war-trumpet in the glorious days of chivalry. Amid
this beauteous landscape, the Herefordshire beacon rears its head
as proudly as when its signal fires moused twelve counties to the
clang of arms.
In the distance are seen

THE BLUE MOUNTAINS OF CAMBRIA,
reposing in beauty, while
The ensemble is rendered quite perfect by

A CRYSTAL STREAM MEANDERING IN-VIEW OF
THE MANSION.

capable of forming a sweet lake at a very little expense, and abound-
ing in trout.
There are now in full blossom several rich orchards, forming a
beautiful contrast with the dense foliage and near the House, are
hanging woods.

THE LUXURIANT HOP GROUNDS
are highly profitable and productive, and there is a subterraneous
passage, which connects the shrubberies, in which is a grotto—a
refreshing and ornamental retreat. It may cot be out of place to
remind the reader that all, and infinitely more than has been ren-
dered by this imperfect description, will be within a four hour's re.
move of the great metropolis, and there are several Noblemen's
seats in the Immediate •icinity.

THE ESTATE IS TITHE FREE, WITH EXCEEDINGLY
MODERATE OUTGOINGS.
There is in the occupation of

W. B. CLIFFE, ESQ. (THE PROPRIETOR), ABOUT

70 ACRES,
including the Mansion-house, Plantation, &c., and there are the
following Farms :

THE CHURCH FARM OF 213 ACRES;
Leasehold, for three young lives, and always renewable under the
Dean and Chapter of Westminster, in the tenure of Mr. John
Jauncey ;

THE FREEHOLD FARMS ARE
SOUTH HIDE AND BRACE,
in the occupation of Mr. Blakeway ; and
THE HAM-GREEN FARM,

715 ACRES and 36 PERCHES.
In a separate lot will be sold
THE GREAT AND SMALL TITHES OF THE ENTIRE
PARISH
OF MATHON, WHICH ARE FAVOURABLY
COMMUTED AT ONLY 528/. A-YEAR.
Again, there are
THE CHIEF RENTS,
which, although they add only about 201. a year to the rents, ne-
cessarily impart a degree of consequence which becomes inseparable
from this fine property.
THE UNLIMITED RIGHT OF COMMON
is also a great auxiliary. Much more might be added to this re-
presentation; but a gentleman (like unto the writer) wl.o thinks
Consols toe high at par, will do well to pay a personal visit to this
most eligible mode of
SUBSTITUTING LAND FOR THREE PER CENTS.
Sir Robert Peel's manly and straightforward declaration last year
has, or ought to have, quieted all those who before were sceptical,
or under the slightest apprehension in respect to the corn.laws.
The neighbouring markets are all favourable, and the quantity of
Cider and Perry made on this property has yielded 1,000 hogs-
heads, er 2,0001. value in one year.
Shepping House is situate in the Immediate
VICINITY OF THE MALVERN HILLS,
the far-famed chalybeate, ten miles from Worcester; five miles

Hereford, and within the parish of Mathon, in the county of Worces.
