THE BODFACH ESTATE.

With its delightfully-situated MANSION and other Appen-
dages, adjoining the Borough Town of Llanfillin, in Mont-
gomeryshire, on the borders of Shropshire, only twenty-eight
miles from Shrewsbury, admitted to be one of the most
beautiful Domains in the whole Principality, presenting a
combination of splendid Mountain, Vale and River
Scenery that cannot be surpassed, and, at the same time,
a very important and influential Property, viewed either
for residence or as a most solid investment, embracing about
1500 Acres of rich Grazing, Meadow, Arable, and Wood
Land, the greater part Tithe-free, and nearly in a Ring
Fence; also a good CORN MILL, some HOUSES in
the town, and a few detached Parcels of LAND, the
whole in the hands of a respectable Tenantry, at low
rents.

I%IEESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are commis-
sioned to offer for SALE by AUCTION, at the Mart,
London, on FRIDAY, the 24th of Augual next, at Twelve
o'clock, (unless an acceptable offer shoal be previously made
by private contract,) the above very yaluable, compact, and
highly-distinguished FREE HOLDOSTATE, the property
of a Nobleman, embracing the entire Township of Bodfach,
which forms a lovely and fertile Vale, superbly studded with
Timber, and refreshed by a beautiful River, abounding with
trout, winding throngh its rich Park-like Meadows, encircled
by bold and extensive chains of magnificent hills, embellished
by remarkably-thriving and ornamental Plantations of
Larch, Oak, Spruce, &c., on their summits and brows, inter-
mixed with nearly every variety of full-grown 'L'imber in
groves, clumir, and belts, and admirably adapted for the pre-
servation of Game, forming one of the most admired and ro-
mantic spots in the county. The Residence, which is ap-
proached from Lodges on the Turnpike-road, passing through
the heart of the Estate, is on a small scale, but has capital
Offices and Outbuildings that may be made suitable for any
Establishment, should the Purchaser wish to enlarge the
Mansion. The farms lie all compact, are well tenanted, the
rents punctually paid, and the poor rates are only about two
shillings in the pound.
There is also a Gentleman's COTTAGE on part of the
property, a capital CORN' MILL, working four pair of
stones, and some HOUSES, a PUBLIC-HOUSE, and
other PREMISES, in and near the town which will be
sold in separate lots, giving votes for the borough and
county.
This fine Property will shortly (by the railroads extending
towards it) be within a day's journey of London, and offers a
most eligible investment for capital, as the Farms are capable
of considerable improvement, and the Timber and Plantations
are particularly thriving.
Descriptive particulars, with Plans, are preparing, and may
be had, after the Ist of July, of Messrs. JONES, BATEMAN
and BENNETT, Lincoln's Inn, London; of Mr. SISSON,
Plascoch, St. Asaph ; of Messrs. WILLIAMS and Forty,
