WILLASTON, AND TITHES OF BACKFORD.
By Messrs. CHURTON and SONS,
On TUESDAY, the 25th instant, at Two o'clock in the
Afternoon, at the Woodside Hotel, in the township of
Birkenhead, in the county of Chester, in the following or
such other lots as shall then be agreed upon, and subject to
such conditions as shall then and there be declared, (unless
previously disposed of by private contract, of which due
•

notice will be given,
THE following very valuable and improving FREEHOLD
and LEASEHOLD ESTATES, viz. :
Lot that capital MANSION, called THORNTON
HOUSE, situate in the township of Childer Thornton, in the
county of Chester, upon the Chester and Woodside turnpike
road, and half way between Chester and Liverpool, and with
convenient distance of two railway stations, (to which also
there are turnpike roads,) with Pleasure Grounds, Planta-
tions, Gardens, Yards, Outbuildings, Lawn, and Paddock,
in the occupation of Thomas H. Thompson, Esq.
And also all that valuable FREEHOLD ESTATE, called
THE THORNTON HOUSE ESTATE, lying partly in the same
township, and partly in Little Sutton, the whole containing
250 statute Acres, or thereabouts, of excellent Pasture,b
Meadow, and Arable Lands, and irivinu Plantations, to-
gether:with certain Shares of the Manor of Childer Thornton
aforesaid, with the rights and privileges thereto belonging.

This istate is remarkably well situated, within a feCi, miles
of Liverpool, Chester, Neston, and Wales, being in the cen-
tre of several turnpike roads leading to those places, and
which intersect the property most favourably for its improve-
ment. The Chester and Birkenhead Railway passes through
the distant fields, affording the choice of Hooton or Sutton
Station, at which trains both ways call every two or three
hours, and Eastham Steam Ferry to Liverpool is only two
miles off. The Estate abounds with Game, (at present let
to Sir William Stanley, Bart.,) and has every attraction for
a gentleman fond of field sports, and desirous to possess a
dry and delightful Residence in an excellent neighbourhood.
Lot 2.—A1l that valuable FARM, in the adjoining town-
ship of Willaston, in the same county ; containing 76 statute
Acres, or thereabouts, in the holding of Samuel Davies, as
tenant thereof. With one-twentieth Share of the Manor of
Willaston, with the rights and privileges thereto belonging.
This is very improveable property.
Lot 3.—BACKFORD TITHES.
The Leasehold Interest in the Corn Tithes of the Parish of
Backford, in the same county, held by lease for the longest
of three lives, now aged respectively 70, 40, and 37, subject
to a reserved rent to the Lord Bishop of Chester of £lB 13s.
7}d. ; and also to the repair of the Chancel of Backford
Church, which has averaged £1 per annum for the last ten
years, vti. :
TLe Townships of Backford,
Lea, Commuted at
Great Mollington, £222 16s. Ild.
and Caughall,
And which last year produced £229 18s. sd.
Also, a MOIETY of the CORN TITHES of CHORL-
TON TOWNSHIP, which for the seven years, 1829-1835,
produced an average commutation of £34 lls. 3d. ; all which
would, by the present year's Commutation Tables, amount
to a total rent charge of £271 6s. 9d.
