CASE OF SIR FELIX BOOTH AND MR. HOME.
WERE any further proofs required to give
authenticity to the Papers anti Documents already
placed before the public, in regard to some of the transactions
i n which Sit Felix Booth, Bart., has latterly occupied a con-
spieuous share, it would not be difficult or irrelevant to show
an additional instance of the " want, of attention of the Baro-
net" to fulfil his compacts with Mr. Home. By the agreement
of 1836, existing between the parties, it is declared, " that in
case of any dispute or difference arising on either side as to
any matter or thing contained in this agreement, the same in
all cases shall be settled by reference."
Would it be believed after this, that all attempts at an
'• amicable adjustment" of the matters contained in the
said agreement had been carefully avoided by Sir Felix
Booth, though repeatedly impressed upon him by Mr.
liilome, and that twelve months had been in vain expended
in soliciting this " patron of the inventions of others" to give
his attention to such a course, and to act conformably with
his contracts ? What are we to think of a man, who, with-
holding the payments for an invention, by which he is acquiring
wealth, puts his " own interpretation" upon " mutual deeds,"
and refuses to submit to " arbitration," though bound to do so
by the very words of the agreement itself ! Verily the wise
man is as a jewel, and gladdens the heart of the beholder ; but
he that "climbeth above his station" showeth only his naked-
ness !

Copy of Original Letter to Sir Felix Booth, Bart. :
" SIR,—As no advice has been forwarded to me in reply to
my letters of the 15th and 27th of August, containing a repeti-
tion of the proposals made by me for an adjustment of my de-
mands, and believing that you cannot very consistently perse-
vere in your present line of conduct, so contrary to the usages
of business and of fair dealing, I again point out the propriety of
your taking an early opportunity to direct your attention to
the performance of the engagements you have entered into
with me.

" Pei fectlysatiafied of the justice of my views in regard to
these transactions, I call your recollection to the extraordinary
fact, that after twelve months' application for an adjustment of
my claims, no approach whatever has been made on your side
to attain that object, or the slightest reason assigned for your
present unexampled course.
" At the same time I wish to intimate, that having offered a
reference' on a former occasion, should that mode prove more
agreeable, I can have no objection to leave the construction of
the matters in the deed to the adjudication there contemplated,
or submit it to mutual friends for " arbitration ;" or I shall
be prepared with the names of two of the most eminent distil-
lers in London, conversant in such matters, before whom the
necessary papers shall be submitted, and by whose opinions I
shall be governed.
Offering these proposals with perfect sincerity, but without
prejudice to my rights, and allowing you one clear week for a
reply, I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
DAVID lIOAIE.

Brighton, 6th Sept., 1839.
To Sir Felix Booth, Bart., 43, Portland-place.
