PUBLIC SALE OF WINES AND PORTER.
3000 DOZENS OF WINE AND PORTER!

WILL BE OFFERED FOR COMPETITION,
AT THE FIRST MONTHLY PUBLIC Sio,p,
By H. MARTIN, 1
which is proposed to take place on the Premises, Rumford-
buildings, No. 2, Rumford-street, Liverpool, on WEDNES-
DAY, the STH OF JUNE NEXT.
The quality of this Porter cannot be surpassed ; no expense
or care has been spared to ensure the patronage of the Pub-
lic ; it is now ripe, and in fine condition. There will be some
very choice Sherry, and a small quantity, of curiously fine
old Port. This Wine is of that recherche character as to be
met with only at the tables of the first families.
No parties who are buyers, whether they be those in the
Trade, Hotel-keepers, Captains and Stewards of Vessels, or
Heads of Private Establishments, but will realise an immense
saving by making their purchases at these Sales.
As it will frequently happen, as on the present occasion,
that the greater portion offered for sale will be without re-
serve, it is next to impossible that the Public can be supplied
with Wines at so cheap a rate under any other mode of busi-
ness.
Whilst these Sales will afford a ready and appropriate out-
let to those who have Wines to dispose of, such as Dealers
who wish to lessen their Stocks ; Assignees who have Bank-
rupts' Effects to dispose of; Small Importers;. and Noble-
men and Gentlemen changing their residences, &c. •, yet the
system adopted will be that of strict justice towards the buyer
as well as towards the seller, and the public may most con-
fidently rely upon the fact that no inferior qualities will be
represented as any other than those which they really are ;
neither will any rubbish bottled in Portugal, and sent over
to this country in six-dozen cases, as patriarchal and unsul-
lied produce, be permitted to come upon the Premises.
The system of bottling Ports abroad is not unfrequently
resorted to by the Growers, as the last effort of a declining
House, or as a means of disposing of the refuse of the market ;
relying (as Cyrus Reding, in his excellent work on Wines,
observes,) upon the too ready credulity of people who are in
many instances foolish enough to believe, that because a
Wine has been bottled in Portugal it must be good, whereas
if the facilities for adulteration be great in this country, they
are infinitely more so abroad, and after all, in many instances,
can only be detected by a strictly pure and correct taste, to
such perfection have many arrived in the art of adulteration.
The regular Monthly Sale, which will be held on the first
WEDNESDAY in each month throughout the year, will be
confined exclusively to Wine in bottle. Due notice will
always be given of Sales in wood, and parties who have
Wine for consignment will find a much more liberal system
adopted than has been usual in Liverpool.
A Catalogue may be had, and Samples tasted, the day
previous to and on the Morning of each Sale • and the dif-
ferent Lots will be arranged so as to suit both small and
large purchasers.
