convenient distance of two railway stations, (to which also

This Estate is remarkably well situated, within a few 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 1-looton 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.

ship of Willaston, in the same county ; containing 76 statute
Acres, or thereabouts, in the holding of Samuel Davies, as
