The auctiewier stated that be had so distrait*, bet stoat
sell the property according to instructions. The home
was sold for 17 guineas and a half . to Mr. Drat, of St.
Alban's and the messenger formally protested' against the
sale. The articles were chiefly purchased by lames in
the neighbourhood. I did cot uoderstand that say agent
from London was present. Most of the articles have been
carried away this afternoon, according to the conditions of
sale.

The cottage now remains entirely destitute of fornitnre,
It will be pulled down as soon as it ceases to to be an ob-
ject of curiosity, and no more money can be gained by
showing it.
