These premises are admirably situated for business, a large amount of which has been done in them by the present proprietor, whose health obliges him to relinquish this profitable concern, and turn his attention to agricultural pursuits. The Stock, which consists of a most useful and varied assortment, may be taken at a valuation. Possession will be given in ten days from the day of sale, and every further information on the subject will be afforded by the auctioneers ; or on application at the'office of Mr. E. ■Wbrmald, Ham House, Lyttelton. Terms at Sale. IMPORTANT SALE OF TIMBER, ETC. MR. ALPORT has the honour to inform the Public that he has received instructions from the Proprietor to Sell by Auction, at the Golden Fleece, Christchurch, on Thursday, the 31st of July, all the TIMBER as it stands on TWENTY" ACRES of the best part of Papanui Wood, within two miles of Christchurch. It will be submitted to public competition in Lots of Five Acres each, or in smaller quantities if required, to suit the convenience of purchasers. Mr. Alpobt respectfully invites the attention of Sawyers, Timber-Dealers, and the Public generally, to this very valuable property. The present great scarcity of Timber in the Settlement, more particularly on the Plains—the fact that all the available part of Riccarton Bush has now been cut down—and the proximity and easy access of Papanui Wood to Christchurch, (where for the next several years there must of necessity be a very large and increasing demand, at high prices, for every description of Sawn Timber, Firewood, &c.) concur to render this property one of extreme value, and worthy the attention of all connected with the timber trade. A large tract of country immediately adjoining the wood has already been chosen as Freehold Land, further enhancing the value of the wood, to which the neighbouring farms and stations can alone look for their entire supply of wood for building, firewood, fencing, and other purposes. The Great North Road from Christchurch will' pass close by the wood, and a respectable Pub-lic-House is about at once to be established on land immediately adjoining the property to be sold. To view a Map of the Lots, and for Conditions of Sale and further particulars, apply at the office of the auctioneer, 2, Norwich Quay, or at Mr. Hakman's, Christchurch. P.S. The Terms will be found to be very liberal, and the proprietor will be prepared to accommodate tlte mode of payment to suit as far as possible the convenience of purchasers.
