Also, several serviceable saddle and draft horses, a mule and an ass, thirty head of prime Berbice cattle, amongst which are a number of very superior cows, a pasture bell, fifty sheep, consisting of fat weathers and prime breeding ewes, and a very superior ram - the whole at three months' credit. Also, house servants and field Negroes, at three and six months' credit; and further, the Lot opposite No. 8, in Kingston, heretofore a water lot, but now the upper half is converted into a substantial firm soil, on which is a house frame, thirty by twenty feet, one and a half story high, with height for stores beneath; also storeage [sic] of 500 packages, contiguous to the Kingston Stelling. - The premises extending from the old front dam to low water mark, at a credit of six, twelve, and eighteen months.
Also on the same day and place, by order of G. M. Forrester, Esq. Curator of the Estate of Samuel Eburne, dec. twenty-five field Negroes in families, being the gang of plantation Nile and New Providence in Pomoroon. Amongst those Negroes are several prime single men. - Also the said plantation, being Nos. 67 and 68 in that river, each lot being 116 roods facade, and extending in depth from the river to the sea, a distance sufficient that each lot will contain about 1000 acres; together with the buildings and cultivation, which consist of a logie of the best materials and in good preservation, fifty feet by twenty-two feet; a dwelling-house with the necessary store, also in good preservation; with the other requisite buildings and negro houses. Of the land a large proportion has been cultivated with cotton, but is now in pasturage. There are further from thirty to forty acres of bearing plantains, amongst which are about 10,000 coffee-trees of different ages, most of which are also bearing, and offer a good crop; the plantains on the walks are also in great abundance. The two lots are divided in the direction towards the river by a navigable canal, which communicates with the buildings; and the land is well known to be admirably adapted for the produce of sugar, or is well worth the attention of woodcutters. - The Negroes at 6 and 9 months' credit, and the land and buildings at twelve and eighteen months.
Further, on the same day and place, by order of G. M. Forrester, q.q. Catharine Pendorgrass [sic], a piece of excellent land, situated between the estates Hoop van Holland and Dorothy's Rest, on Tiger Island, Essequebo, 180 to 200 acres, more or less, extending through the Island from the sea to the river, and which at a small expense would make a most valuable plantain walk, at a credit of six months. The above vendue will positively commence at ten o'clock.
