EXTENSIVE AND VALUAIJLE ESTATES.

MR. W. W. SIMPSON has peCeived instructions to
offer for SALE by Aucr ON, at the Auction Mart,
London, on TUESDAY the 12t day of October, at Twelve
o'clock at Noon for One pr isely, a most desirable and

convenient Farms, sever other smallerTenementl, more than
500 Acres of Wood, (i uding a large park-like inclosure of
remarkably fine holt' ,) upwards of 120 Dwellings, and a large
and excellent Shee alk.
The Estate is we I wooded and watered, abounding in varied
and picturesque scenery, presenting many beautiful positions
for a Gentleman's Residence. . .

The Property is more than usually compact for its extent,
and has not intermixed with it a single acre which does not
belong to the Vendors.
The purchaser may have an opportunity likewise of obtaining
by private treaty two excellent Farms adjoining, containing
together 295 acres; and other large Estates in the immediate
neighbourhood are so circumstanced as to render it probable
that a Capitalist desiring to make further investments might
extend his purchases by several thousand acres; thus affording
an opportunity for acquiring a large and important territory
rarely offered to the public.
The Estate abounds in Lead Mines, adjoining to and ranging
in continuation of the Snailbeach Mine, which has for many
years yielded an IMMENSE ROYALTY, and is said to have pro-
duced more Lead than any mine in the kingdom.
Plans and particulars may be had on application to Messrs.
WHITE, BLAKE, TYLEE, and FAWKENER, Solicitors, 14, Ls-
