Viz., Ist, Town Acre, numbered 556, on the SurveyorGeneral’s Plan ; frontage on Hill Street, immediately behind the residence of Dr. Evans; beautifully situated, and presenting many advantages to small capitalists and mechanics, who will thus have aft opportunity of possessing freehold property in that centrical part of the Town. 2d, Town Acre, No. 134, on Te Aro Flat, being a Corner Allotment, fronting Taranaki and Ingestrie Streets, and situated on what must be the Main Street through this district of Wellington, and leading to the Suburban Lands and Dairy Farms rapidly forming about Evans’ Bay and towards Terawitti. Its chief advantage, however, is, in being in the near vicinity of the only public reserve having water-frontage in Town, and where, no doubt, a Public Wharf will ere long be constructed, and Public Buildings erected, which will give incalculable advantages to these allotments, beyond what they already possess, in being situated where leases are so much sought after. Plans may be seen of the Auctioneers.
