IMPORTANT SALE OF WINES.

On THURSDAY, the 28th October instant, at Eleven o'clock,
at the Cotton Sales' Room, in Liverpool,—by order of the
Executors of the late Mr. James Davies,
The entire and genuine STOCK of well-selected
WINES IN BOTTLE,
amounting in the whole to upwards of
THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOZENS :
comprising about
_

3000 Dozens of old and valuable PORTS, of various ages
in bottle : shipped by " Sandeman", " Offley",
" Croft", and others,
300 Dozens of superior SHERRY, imported from " Rus-

Together with smaller parcels of CHAMPAGNE, BUC EL-
LAS, LISBON, CALCAVELLA, and other WINES.
In calling the attention of the Wine Trade to this impor-
tant Sale, the Brokers may observe, that such an opportunity
as the present but rarely presents itself for the purchase of
first-class Wines old in bottle; the whole of the Stock now
(in consequence of the decease of the Proprietor) to be
offered for unreserved Sale having been bottled not more
with a view to profit than to the maintenance of that high
and well-deserved reputation which the late Owner had,
during a period of twenty years, established for himself as
a Wine-merchant in Liverpool.

The Wines may be tasted on the premises, LYCEUM-
PLACE, BOLD-STREET, from Ten until Four o'clock on the
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday previously to the day of
Sale: and Catalogues may be had for ten days prior, on ap-
plication to the Brokers, from whom any further particulars
may be obtained.
