A COURT IS HELD YEARLY

to collect this little revenue. Its extent is understood to be
co-textensive with the parish ; but the sport derivable
from the abundance of game, is of infinitely more importance,
and to a sporting man it will be music to his ear to be inform-
ed of the various packs of hounds which frequently enliven
this vicinity. It may now be desirable to arrest our progress
into the varied agremens of North Mymms, to make a few
observations on the capabilities of this mansion. It has been
so cleverly managed that, although a Viceroy might find
abundant source of enjoyment, and lack nothing included in
the expressive word comfort, there is a total absence of that
fearful annoyance arising out of being over-housed.
THE GRAND GALLERY, NEARLY 80 FEET
IN LENGTH,
is accounted the best proportioned room in the county ; it is
not merely a show room, but the most comfortable habitable
room in the mansion. It is really a feature, and highly ap-
preciated by all who have seen it. This Gallery seems ori-
ginally to have been created with an idea that is now very
likely to be realised.

THE REPRESENTATION OF ST. ALBAN'S
is in view, as a matter of course; it is one of the multiplicity
of objects that will accompany this purchase ; one of " the
ways and means" inseparable from the next representation
of this Borough. But to recur to the mansion—there is the
most abundant accommodation throughout—lots of conve-
nience and bed-rooms for the domestics. Ten lofty best bed-
chambers, a staircase of oak, whereon imitation will be
awakened ; the hall, of extraordinary beauty, is paved with
marble ; it is quite adapted to a dinner-room through the
summer and autumn months. The drawing-rooms and salon-
a-manger are all in perfect keeping, fitted up in carved oak,
and oak floors to each, but it is to the tact and singular judg-
ment that has directed the whole, to which especial attention
is requested. The expense• has been fearful, but good
taste is so conspicuous, that it will never be a source of
regret.

A MAGNIFICENT CONSERVATORY AND
HOT-HOUSE

are in connexion with the second dining-parlour, and al
the subordinate offices are in character. Within the court•
yard is everything to render a hunting establishment corn.
plete.

THE GARDENS AND PLEASURE-GROUNDS
are of considerable extent, although two gardeners alone keep
them in excellent order. The lawn on one side is adorned
by flowering shrubs, and a variety of American plants ; on
the other the taste of the worthy pastor has inclined to the
encouragement of wild rabbits, who domesticate for hours in
sight of the eating-rooms. The kitchen-gardens are exten-
sive, and great care has been taken to secure the finest speci-
mens of fruit as well as vegetables, and an important feature
suggests itself that will not be disregarded. There exists a
total independence of
THE WHOLE RACE OF TRADESPEOPLE,
everything essential to a family, beginning with killing the
finest mutton, and ending by the delicious gallini, are all in
daily exercise here ; the consequence is this Estate

Indeed, it may be enjoyed without having to draw npon a
very large income.
The next point to call the public attention to ix
THE SEVERAL FARMS AND LANDS,
THE RENTAL AND VALUE £2OOO A-YEAR,
are all in a high state of cultivation, one of which has been
christened

THE EXAMPLE FARM OF THE COUNTY.
A new and fit name, for this trial Farm has proved to de

monstration the quality of the soil, and at the present writ-
ing manifests the advantage of good farming, by exhibiting five
quarters of wheat and barley, and a great probability of more
than► two tons of hay per acre. The other farms have the same
power tinder the self-same management. In the centre of the
property is
A VILLA OF CONSIDERABLE TASTE,

partaking a little of the Elizabethan style—it is seated on a
lawn of great beauty, and surrounded by plantation walks,
shrubberies, and garden. It has full accommodation for a
retiring merchant, and a sporting man would here repose in
clover, amid every possible comfort he could desire, and there
is a hot-house in case grapes be one of his favourite fruits.
The stable department includes everything that can be
suggested. Away from this is another Villa upon a smaller
scale, and throughout the Estate are distributed snug little
holbitations to gladden the hearts of the poor occupiers.
Much more might be added to this very moderate statemant,
but Mr. Robins is exceedingly anxious that a purchaser on
viewing this property may return delighted with having found
the landscape has nut been sufficiently coloured.
Particulars will be ready twenty.eight days prior to the
sale; to be then had of Mr. Hunsorq, Solicitor, No. 23,
Bucklersbury ; at the Auction Mart, iu Covent-garden. It
can only be viewed by a ticket from Mr. Roblas,
