Wednesday night two fellows, old offenders, were detected robbing the coal binn [sic] of Mr TOMPSON, brewer, in St Martin's at Oak. They had filled two sacks, and a large basket. One was secured and committed to Bridewell by the name of Chand FLOWER [sic - I suspect that this may be the family name CHANDFLOWER]; the other made his escape, leaving his wig and hat behind.

The Landlord will take Care to lay in Plenty of Wood for the coming-in Tenant. -- Aylsham is a good and plentiful Country for Wood and Wheat, and everything else. There is a very good Stable which will hold three Horses, and a Hay-house adjoining to the Stable. The Tenant may have two, four, or six Acres of Land, if he should like to keep a cow. There have been but three Tenants for an hundred Years past, and two of them died out there. Inquire as above.

This Farm was held on Lease about five Years since at 309 pounds per Annum, but from the low Price of Farming Commodities was reduced to 260 pounds per Ann. to Lady [day], 1781; from which Time it has been in the Hands of the Owner, whose insolvent Situation obliges him to sell this Estate to the Best Bidder.

Note. The Estate is capable of great Improvements, and worth the Notice of any monied [sic] Man, and will, after deducting every Outgoing, produce a net Penny Rent of 156 pounds per Annum.

For Particulars enquire of William CREASY, Attorney, Downham, Norfolk, or of the said Bartholomew RAMSEY, who will shew [sic] the Premisses [sic].
