The sale by Messrs. B. Tonks and Co. of the township of Henderson, on Tuesday, was probably the most successful land sale which has been held for a long time. The attendance was numerous, the bidding spirited, and considering the distance of the township from Auckland, the prices realised were excellent. With the exception of a few township sections all the lots were sold.
