Executors of the late CHARLES CHURCH HASLEWOOD, Esq., to offer for Public Sale at the Auction Mait, Christchurch, on THURSDAY, 24th JUNE NEXT, the following SHEEP RUNS, STOCK, &c, belonging to the estate. ' Lop 1. The Goodwil' of a Sheep run of 13,000 acres, known as the Coriuga station, on the Waimakariri, about 6 miles from Christchnrch,' with the improvements thereon, consisting t of Dwelling House, Huts, Stockyards, r Hurdles, Dipping Trough, &a. From the well-known fattening qualities of j "the run, and its proximity to Chmtchurch, it P is particularly adapted for a wether station. .Parfcies'engagpd in bringing stock for sale from the other provinces will also find this station worthy of their special attention, as its posses- 1' sion will not only afford a convenient central t point for delivery, but will further give peculiar facilities for taking advantage of aivy.fluctnata>ns in market prices. By far the larger portion of the run is totally unfit for agricultural purposes, so that the holder need be under no apprehension of its bsiiig purchased over him. In addition to the pre-emptive rights (extending to -300 acres) granted for improvements, there are two pre-emptive rights of 250 acres each, held under the Canterbury Association's Regulations. Lot 2. The Goodwill of a Run of 15,000 acres in thft gorge of the Waimaksiriri. This run, which has well defined boundaries, is situated in the country recently discovered in the govgo of the Waimakariri—the greater part of \viiv.:h lias be^n taken up by sebtlevs of experience from Australia..
