LOT V

All those two Fields or Closes of LANDS, called the Cow
pastures, situate in the township of Hoole, in the parish of
St. John, and county of Chester, now in the occupation of
Margaret Lanceley, as yearly tenant, and containing together
by admeasu cement, 7a. 3r. 2p. statute measure or thereabouts,
together with a right of way through the Little Meadow of
Lot 4, and along the occupation road to Hoole-lane Bridge.

The Seat of Commerce, of Splendour, and of Profit in Comp-
ton-street, created by Messrs. Sewell and Cross during a
period of 22 Years, and recommended to a Successor by
proclaiming an intelligible fact—that the Trade is unsur-
passable, and the Profit immense.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully makes known to
all those who have capital at command, that in con-
sequence of the decease of Mr. Cross, and his partner having
realised a fine independence, the Executrix, in unison with
Mr. Sewell, of the late firm of
MESSRS. SEWELL AND CROSS,
have directed him to OFFER for peremptory SALE, at ther
Auction Mart, on Tuesday, April 5, at Twelve, in One Lot,
the singularly valuable PREMISES and the GOOD-WILL
of a concern that stands so proudly in the ascendant overl
most of its rivals, that it may be unhesitatingly affirmed it is
not to be surpassed throughout England. The limits of an
advertisement preclude the capability to demonstrate this fact
by a lengthened commentary ; however, Mr. Robins being
permitted to let out a few only of
" THE SECRETS OF THE PRISON HOUSE,"
is thus enabled to confirm, and to the fullest extent, the mo-
derate praise already bestowed upon it. First, then, the
returns have varied from
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND TO
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR.
Every one conversant with the profit of a large trade, and
more especially a fancy one, will know how to estimate and
appreciate this, and will only be surprised that having origi-
EinAlgarteUhe_x_n_otto of
CHARGES AND PAIR DEALING,"
the profit, which has reached seventeen thousand pounds
during twelve months, is only averaged at
TEN THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR.
It may be well to premise, en passant, that it is still enjoying
its original and proud pre-eminence ; it is in the market from
circumstances which cannot be controlled, and not to be
traced to any cause that will not bring a cheering prospect to
the mind of the new possessor. It is only twelve mouths
since
THIS SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT
was resuscitated. An immense alteration, with a view to
render it unapproachable in magnificence by any opponent,
was then encountered,, the expense of which has exceeded a
great many thousand pounds. An entree, with spacious and
brilliant front, was opened in Compton-street, and one of an
imposing nature in Frith-street ; they are aided by so much
of elegance, publicity, and good taste, as to be in no dreadof
rivalry. It is altogether a new outside, and with a more se-
ductive front than heretofore ; but it is not to this alone Mr.
Robins would enlist the reader's attention. The interior
claims to be distinguished for its capability and splendour
beyond most of its contemporaries. With a trade unexam-
pled, the premises are so perfect and so extensive as to be
even capable of increasing the present enormous gain, and
add to an establishment that already has numbered 120 as-
sistants—indeed it may be well observed it is a concern
that it would be in vain to seek for throughout England,
and ingenuity would be exhausted—" try in vain"—to
find a solitary drawback. It is an undertaking free from
doubt, and with prospective advantages so manifest, that
it may be in great truth said, that bygone days do not
furnish such an
example. The whole building, occu-
pying several houses and a vast space, does not exceed
a disbursement of £5OO a year for rent. The terms unex-
pired are various, but abundant to realise very speedily a
second fortune, and, in these precarious times, it really will
be welcomed by those who are desirous to partake of for-
tune's favours as 4, a godsend" that the most sanguine could
hardly have contemplated. This establishm-nt, it is known,
has amassed so much of wealth and high repute by moderate
prices ; but such an object could not have been carried out
except upon the principle of a readv-money trade. The
present stock is immense, and it might almost be added un-
equalled for extent and variety ; but if the new and fortunate
possessor is anxious to distinguish his opening by a fresh
importation, he will not be required to take the present. The
opportunity is presented to him if he desires to avail himself
of it, and possession so early as to partake of all the benefits
derivable from the approaching season of unexampled splen-
dour.

the vast trade carrying on may not be interrupted, the pre-
mises can only be 110011 by PrineiPals with an order from Mr.
Robins's offices.
