Nov. %, says: progress with the sal
wing of the Glengariffe's cargo has re-
ceived temporary check owing to the
large quantity of water in the fore part

Farnham tenants communication
from Mr.. Norris Goddard, solicitor,
having carriage Of sale, in which he
states: "You must bear in mind that
it is not his lordship's wish to SELL

offering the place for sale; but the
tenants have approached him, stating
their desire to buy. Therefore it is
reasonable to ask them what price
they are willing to give. may tell
you at once that shall certainly not

price as will guarantee to his lordship,
at present investment rates, his pres
ent net income at least. I may add
that 1 have not looked closely into
rental but that shall do so between
the present time and receipt of your
Offers" A meeting of the tenants has
been summoned to consider the reply
