\/S R. JEREMIAH LEDSAM has been

iv_a honoured with instructions to sell by public auction, on the Ground, on Wednesday, the 21st day of July, 1847, at Twelve o'clock, Noon,

Lot I.-Comprising all that Piece or Parcel of LAND, having a frontage to Bulwer-street of 50 feet, with a depth of 112 feet 6 inches; on which is erected,

A strong and subslantial 3-Story Building, of the following dimensions :

Length, 50 feet

Breadth, 22 feet 6 inches Height, 30 feet.

The basis of this edifice consists of well executed worked stone, 10 feet high, and constitutes the first story ; the superstruc- ture is of the best description of bricks, the walls composed of which sufficiently indicate the unparalleled ability of the workman.

Abundant light is afforded by means of IO windows fronting Bulwer-street, the principal of which are strongly secured by means of inserted, soldered, iron bars, and which, in connection with the massive gates on the first, second, and third stories, render the building one of great security.

A substantial and well executed Slab Building is attached to the premises, 35 feet long, 13 feet wide, and 9 feet high.

The establishment is so disposed or arranged that provision has been made on the land for the erection of a Dwelling-house of considerable magnitude, with a frontage

to Bulwer-street.

The premises have been converted into, and for years past have been known as, "WALTHALL'S" celebrated TOBACCO MANUFACTORY, and upon which the late proprietor expended the sum of £1,500.

Lot 2.-All that Piece or Parcel of LAND, having a frontage to Bulwer-street West of 121) feet, by a depth of 120 feet, on which magnificently stands the far-famed

Length, 99 feet Breadth, 22 feet

Celsitude, 16 feet.

The superstructure' is of well-wrought brick-work, consisting of two stories.

The Malt/Floor nearly extends the length of the building. At the west end is erected an ever-during Cistern, the interior of which (together with the malting floor) is of cement, and furnished with a turn-off cock, to emit the liquor conveyed thereto by means of conduits laid on for that purpose.

Adjoining the " malt floor" are the Kiln

and Steam-boiler Rooms.

The Granary and Engine Room compose a part of the second story, and from its exten siveness is admirably adapted to admit of the grain undergoing the requisite process prior to its transmission to the cistern.

The Malt Kiln, separated from the former by a partition wall, is in its dimensions l8 feet by 15 feet, having a sheet iron per-

forated floor.

Transversed is a second pile of building

Length, 64 feet Breadth, 21 feet Height, 20 feet.

The ground story is of brick-work, the floor of which is flagged, and is denominated the Working and Tun " Room." At the southern end are two arched stores, sub-

stantially erected, having a brick-paved

floor.

The appellation given to. the upper or second story is that of the Mashing ami Cooling Room, at the extremity of which are inlaid the " Wort" Copper and Liquor

Boiler.

Ventilators on both sides compose the walls of the second story, and are admirable in their adaptation for producing a refrigerant

influence.

The Court or Yard is suitably pre-occupied with Office and Sitting Room, Coopers' Shops, three-stalled Stable, Shed, Piggeries,

Sec, &c.

A Well, 40 feet deep, supplies the establish- ment with water without intermission.

At the rear of the premises a Weather boarded Building has been erected, 61 feet long, 14 feet 9 inches wide, 8 feet 6 inches high; comparted into a comfortable Dwel- ling Houae, Couch House, and Stable.

This truly valuable and splendid portion of Town Property, comprising Lots 3, 4, 5, and the Verandah Cottage thereupon, were purchased for £1,500. Subsequently a con- siderable sum of money has been expended in accomplishing the improvements above

described.

Terms-10 per cent, cash deposit upon the

Mr. Ledsam respectfully invites the special attention of Capitalists, Merchants, Traders, and the public generally, to this impor- tant, extensive, and unprecedented sale of VALUABLE LAND and PREMISES, cen- trally situated in the perceptibly growing mercantile and flourishing Town of WEST MAITLAND;-a "Town" which, in con- nection with her " Sister" of the " East," may be proud of the magnificence of her Sacred Edifice*, her Courts of Judicature, her Bank Establishment, her splendid Ware- houses, Sec., and situated in the midst of the most fertile district of the " Hunter," en- compassed by the splendid mansions ot wealthy settlers and stockholders.

These observations are made with a view to convey to Capitalists, Merchants, Traders, and others unacquainted with the vast capa- bilities of the district, an indefinite idea of its magnitude and commercial greatness.

The acquisition of property such as is now advertised, unrivalled for situation in the Town of West Maitland, the " Emporium' of the northern districts, cannot fail to prove a safe and profitable investment of surplus unemployed capital. 726
