An advertisement for the auction by J. W. Bell on 6 January 1838 of 'an Allotment of Ground ... with a substantial, well finished Brick Cottage' in Launceston belonging to the printer Geoffrey Amos Eagar. It appears that Eagar's land and cottage were not sold at auction on the 6th January or that the auction did not take place at that time. An auction was re advertised for the 8 March 1838.
