The above shows a result admitting of advantageous compa-
rison with any other institution for Life Assurance. This rate
of abatement has been declared upon All Members' Assurances
effected during the year 1835 and the early part of 1836, and is
founded upon data justifying the expectation that the same rate
of abatement will be declared, in succession, to every Member
in respect of his sixth and following yearly payments ;—or, if
varied, the rate of abatement is expected to be rather increased
than diminished. The new or second Assurance would, after
five years, be entitled to the same rate of abatement as the first
policy ;--the premium thus remitted being equal, if laid out in
a new Assurance, to a bonus of about One-third the amount
of the toss represented by each policy. Any such increase of
the lssuran,e, if desired, must, however, be subject to the dis-
cretion of the Directors, as in the case of the original Assurance.

TO SIR FELIX BOOTH, Bart.
Sir,—.-Having put you in possession of the means to prepare
a Brandy superior in quality to the samples set aside by you for
reference, and performed faithfully in every respect my agree-
ments with you, I now venture to ask whether you have kept
with equal fidelity and truth your written engagements with
me. Have you not, on the contrary, without any reason, or the
slightest plea of justice, disregarded your bonds, and departed
from almost every one of them? While relying on your nume-
rous professions of honour, and contenting myself with claims
by no means adequate to my deserts in this business, in expee-
ta!iou of future success, how has it happened that when the af-
fairs at Albany-street, Regent's-park, had assumed a prosperous
form under my skill and exertions. that you should have with-
drawn from the payments awarded to me, and departed so ma-
terially from }our contracts? Do you suppose that, while en-
joying
the benefits derived from my discoveries, you can play
fast and loose with these objects, and, while using my processes
and matters for your own advantage so liberally, that it can be
allowable that the " considerations" for which they were granted
should be withheld from me?
For fear you may have forgotten any of the documents signed
by you in my favour, I annex a copy of " one of them" at this
time for %oar re-perusal, the " original" of which, I Immure you haa
not been destroyed, and to which I call your serious attention.
A "gentleman of your reputed honour, ' deriving such great
benefits from me, can never surely hope to shelter himself from
his payments under the procrastinations of a Court of Equity,
or seek protection in the supposed unwillingness I may entertain
against entering upon such expensive proceedings, in a cause
msoidme of
t. ICam-
which no Court of Law in any country on this
schatka would support or entertain for a single en Sub-
mitting your own document for your consideration,
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
D. HOME.

AGREEMENT BET WE
MR EN
HOME. SIR F. BOOTH, BART.
AND .
SIR,—To avoid any misunderstanding as to the meaning and
interpretation to be put upon the Deed of Agreement of the 27th
July, 1835, and likewise as to the Agreement dated the 23d
August, 1836, now existing between us, in regard to certain
payments to be made by us to you, we here declare that you are
entitled, under the deed of 1835, to " fourpence a gallon on all
spirit" sold, sent out, or used, rectified by your processes, and six-
pence a gallon on all Brandies sold, sent out from the premises in
Albany-street, not to yield you less than 4001. for every year, or to
be made up to that amount, as well as any " saving" which may
be effected in the " flavouring of Brandies," as set forth in that
deed. And that you are to be paid "3001 a-year" over and
above all other allowances under the Agreement of 1836, to
yield you together not less than 700/. annually, and such fur-
ther sum as the sales at fourpence and sixpence a gallon, as
above-named, may amount to. And these allowances, it is
agreed, shall be united and consolidated from the 19th July,
1837, and to be paid to you simultaneously every three months
after that reriod during these contracts. And this is the inten-
tion and meaning under which these Instruments are to be
construed and taken ; and which understanding we agree shall
be made legal, and be added and form a part of the Agreement
of August 23, 1836.
