SALLiS BY AUCTION.

A FREEHOLD PROPERTY OF CONSIDERABLE
MAGNITUDE IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE, OF THE
EARL OF LUCIE.
THE WOODCHEST ER PARK ESTATE ; INFINITELY
THE FINEST LANDED INVESTMENT IN THE
MARKET.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour to
announce that he Las been favoured by instructions
from the Noble Earl to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION,
in the month of May
THE MAGNIFICENT ESTATE, WITH A PRINCELY
DEMESNE,
familiaras THE WOODCHESTER ESTATE,
in the rich part of Gloucestershire, near to Stroud, the pro-
perty of
THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF DUCIE.
The present object is merely to awaken in good time the atten-
tion of those v,ho have the means, and are anxious to avail
themselves of an Investment infinitely surpassing any purchase
that has been in the market since the memorable Sales of
THE LATE EARL OF ORMONDE.
Early in the Spring Mr. Robins will endeavour to enlist tl.e
public attention by a very faithful announcement, which will
necessarily enter more into particulars than the condensed
statement that follows.
It is accounted
THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF GLOUCESTER-
SHIRE,
and the prominent features aline are so many and so varied,
that it would be impossible to compress them within the mean-
ing of this short announcement: at present it will suffice to ob-
serve that the Mansion and Offices (of the pure Bath Stone)
were created at an expense exceeding One Hundred Thousand
Pounds ; it is seated in the beauteous vale of Gloucester, and in
A PARK LUXURIANT BEYOND DESCRIPTION,
NOT YIELDING IN ITS NATURAL BEAUTY TO
ANYTHING CONTEMPORANEOUSIN ENGLAND.
IT EXTENDS TO FOURI EEN HUNDRED ACRES,
AND IN WHICH THE WOODS AND THE WATERS
are fur ever contending for the supremacy ; and this, be it
remembered, at a distance of only three hours and a-haif ride
from London,
THE ESTATE EXTENDS FOUR MILES IN LENGTH,
AND IS MORE THAN FIVE MILES BROAD,
including Lots of first-rate Farms, with a tenantry quite un-
exceptionable. The value exceeds
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS.
There is connected with the Woachester Property
TWO ADVOWSONS—WOODCHESTER AND
FROCESTER,
_ _ _

with capital abodes.
THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF NYMPHFIELD,
AND POLITICAL INFLUENCE EXTENDING OVER
TWELVE HUNDRED INDEPENDENT YEOMEN.
It is believed Mr. Robins has now set forth enough to incline
all those who think with him that terra firma is the first security
in the world, to give it their immediate and serious attention ;
and since

THE ADMIRABLE AND STATESMANLIKE
MANNER
by which SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART.,
has settled and put to rest for ever, the
INTRICATE QUESTION OF THE CORN-BILL,
there can now be no doubt in the minds even of those who were
sceptical before, that land, the rental from which is now fixed
upon an immoveable rock of safety, is preferable to Three per
Cents., at a very high and somewhat unhealthy price.
Mr. Robins will conclude by inviting such capitalists as are
in search of the best investment extant, to give him personally
the opportunity to explain the minutia connected with the
Woodchester property, which he has carefully surveyed, and
consequently is competent to add considerably to this very im-
perfect representation to those who may do him the honour to
make inquiry.
