The " cutting-up, " of this estate will be of immense advantage to this district, 'th<s present owners having consented to this course as a step toward realising on the whole of this magnificient property, rendered necessary by the death cf one cf the partners. Although Rissington Estate is so well-known locally it is not out of place to state that it commences about 18 miles west from Napier. The lands though varied in feature, are rich and on limestone formation, abundantly watered by springs and everrunning streams. The whole freehold comprises about 74,000 acres, on which though large sums have been expended in improvements, instructions are to put such a very moderate reserve on the portions offered (which include the longest improved lands) as must ensure sale.' There are about 1000 cattle and 90,000 sheep and lambs now on the estate, the greater portion of which will be sold after the land sale, and will enable buyers to etock readily.
