IN THE WEST-RIDING OF YORKSHIRE

- ---------
A fine Investment in the Township of Carlton, with the
Manor and Manorial Rights, and Eleven Freehold Farms,
with suitable Residences and a respectable Tenantry, near
to Leeds and Bradford; the Estate extends to 1,130 Acres
of very convertible Land, entirely within a Ring Fence,
the Tithe and Poor Rate very little, and it will be a most
valuable Appendage to a Sporting Gentleman ; Harrogate
is ten miles off, Leeds and Bradford only seven.
AIR. GEORGE ROBINS has great pleasure in making
II known to the moneyed world, that he is directed to
SELL by PUBLIC COM PETITION, at the Auction Mart,
London, on TUESDAY, the 14th September, at Twelve, in
One Lot,
A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD
PROPERTY,
most especially adapted to invest capital without the slightest
risk, and with prospective advantages not a little encouraging,
beside having lots of game and an abundance of field sports.
It consists of
THE WHOLE OF THE TOWNSHIP
AND MANOR OF CARLTON,

independent of the
EXCLUSIVE SHOOTING OVER MORE THAN
TWO THOUSAND ACRES ADJOINING,
desirably situate seven miles from Bradford and seven from
Leeds, two manufacturing towns of great importance to con-
sume the produce of the land at high prices. The estate
extends to
ELEVEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY ACRES
OF LAND,
a large portion devoted to wheat and barley, with plenty of
good turnip and clover land. The prospect is at the present
moment (in spite of an adverse season) exceedingly encou-
raging, and speaks volumes in favour of the capability of the
soil. It is divided into
ELEVEN COMPACT FARMS,
with suitable buildings; several of them are of a superior
cast, and two or three would be irresistible to select from,
for a sporting man, since a moderate outlaywould render
them suited to a gentleman's occupation ; again, the situa-
tion (to say nothing of its natural beauty) seems to claim in
an especial manner the attention of one inclined to field
sports. It would be impossible to select a preferable spot,
and there is a site originally contemplated for
A MANSION OF SOME IMPORTANCE,
with park-like grounds of great beauty and extent, and much
of ornamental and full-grown timber around it. The views
from this delightful spot are irresistibly beautiful; the vale
is luxuriant, and the landscape, of great extent, is terminated
by York Minster. Plantations of luxuriant
growth are dis-
persedly placed all over the estate, affording delightful pre-
, serves for the game, and the shrubberies are in full growth
to adorn a shooting and hunting box.
THE TENANTRY are WEALTHY and CONTENTED,
and the
RENTAL CAPABLE OF GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
The farms are subject to a very low tithe and poor-rate.
The rental and annual value, to include the woods, may be
stated at about
FOURTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR.
The turnpike-road from Leeds to Otley, and from Bradford
to Harrogate, passes through the estate ; the rivers Aire and
Wharf, plentifully supplied with trout, are not far off; and
there are in full view ornamental waters, and a beauteous
valley clothed in luxuriance. Throughout
THE WEST-RIDING OF YORKSHIRE,
for its size and compactness, there is nothing can exceed this
property, and as a safe investment it is perfect. There is no
arrear, and the ensemble is so perfect as to justify Mr. Ro-
bins in strongly recommending it to early attention, obser-
ving that the bad taste that suggested any interference with
the corn laws is now buried in
" THE TOMB OF ALL THE CAPULETS,"
and a moneyed man will be accounted wise who prefers to
exchange his Three per Cents into terra firma with all prac-
ticable expedition.
Particulars and plans are in quick progress, and will be
ready 21 days prior to the sale, at the Royal Hotel, Leeds ;
the Talbot and Sun, at Bradford ; York Tavern and the
George Inn, York ; of Mr. Ecroyd, Conveyancer, Bradford ;
the Auction Mart ; and in Covent-garden. Mr. Jos. Smith,
land-agent, and a very intelligent surveyor, of Bradford, will
gi.e every possible information to an inquirer.
