When ;Ir. Booth ream - m.li to London, he made a veal moderato proposal to I,:e defendant, that his ex;:tatases sheltie. be paid; and in answer, be :Teel% eci a letter fa .on the defendant, which would be al esson to all young pi:avers not to Ii item' to the flattery of managers, when it suited their interest to be eivi!; rot %vino it no longer suited Mr. M tr.l.hy's interest he could he as coarse and as abusive as lie hal before been obsequious anti exaptiinentary. The letter was dated March 13, and was in these terrnt. " Sir —Yott have indulged your humour by conduct more nearly allied to absurdity than folly, and which I believe is without a paral lel la the history rtf theatrical concerns. Acknowlethsed geniur and admired talent may have its partwned wenknenes. but an tidar of your humble•kind can have no pretence for givimt hitns.lf the airs of a 'poptilar favourite : when he dries, it becomes provokingly ridicu laur. You (mine down here by stealth to play two characters, which :lows your recarioes tenure in London, &e. Novelty, however, was in reluest with ui, and I thought that you would take for your trouble what I offered : it is scarcely to he believed that you refused YO guineas for playing three nights No; Master Booth weakly tnotight that we dare' not do wit wut him. Week little man I Now. sir, ss your netions were full of unmannerly and coarse arrogance, I think it neeessa:y that Mr. Harris would tie made acquainted with the citreunt.aance::, and as there are two excellent papers published here, 'I shall fairly give it to than : it will put country managers their ward, that they may view sash star • as you vithont wink ing or Marin. If you say you were a little tipsy, at may be forgotten, and that will be your best excuse, &c. After a respectable fotnily, at my request, opened apartments to receive you, you left them with out any remuneration. Is this the great Mr. Booth. the fearful rival of Mr. Kean ? " T. W. AIt,.NLEY." In• consequence of this ungentlemanly aril most unjust treatment the plaintiff had been compelled to bring his ease before the politic, and to seek remuneration at the hands of a jury: the amount he damages would probably be governed by the direction of the learned Judge, awl was to be gatkered chiefly from the terms of the rot-respondence. Lord Ellenhoroa2is-IVhat was wrapped up in the letter ? The defendant observes, " if you say aye, wrap it up in a letter." Did the plain tiff say aye ; and if he did, whet: is the letter in which he wrapped it ? Mr. Marryat. for the defendant, predueed Mr. Booth's answer to Mr. Manley's proposal of the 7th of March. It was read as follows: " Monday evening, coach-office. " Dear Manley.—Ml the inside places were taken for to-rig)t, and I did not like to venture on the outside; therefore I will c hie to-raorrow by the morning coach. It cannot be helped ; e nincc you play the farce fi:st ? If we can agree. when I arrive we will see about Ri.-iard. Pray be kin.: enough to procure me a lode Yours, sincerely, " J. B. BOOTH.' Mr. Idolpline said, that this letter had been sent by the post; but to avails the possibility of disappointment, the plaintiff had also attached a note to the waybill of the Stam ford emu+. Lord Elienbormigh observed, that it seemed as if Mr. Booth expected an answer. "Cannot you play the farce firs; ?" was a qiiestion requiring a reply ; auclibe words " if we eau agree, when I arrive we will see about Kiehare implied that tile averment was not closed. Mr. Adolphus submit red that the agreement was complete, thong), minor arrangements were yet to be made. Mr. Martyat observed, that besides the imperfectness of the contract, he had .another defence, :bat Mr. booth had not arrived U. Stamford to play until some time after tau tier furmances ;d begun. Th 6 star did not rt'c ipiiie soon u. other stars. Recording to his own letter, he did not approve of being out at eight. Lord Filenborough reg.etted That this unfortunate young man hail come forward with so isimerfeet a case. This afar might ',ann . :a to be only an ignisfatruv. Mr. Adolphusand Mr. Chit:y both urged that the enzage. 'mem was complete, and the latter referred to a case derided the last teem, wore it had been Lehi that a entitled con tained in a letter was bindintr until an answer had beer) re turned : here no answer had been 'teemed. He riff red to prove also, that Mr. Iteoili was at Stamford at 7 Weiork, the-hour at which the perfermances atthe theatre usually com menced. Lord Ellenborottelt dill not think the authority referred to applicable, but suggested that the question clundd be tort into case. Mr ,' dolphin; did not wish to resist his Lordsh.p'e decided epinion in point of law. Mr. glare at observed, that he was desired to state, that when Mt. Manley required the plaintiff to play two sn. wed ::rig nights, he refusedimless the former would be answerable :or his (the plaintiff's) salary at Covent-Emden. Lord Ellenbornogh recommended, that the defendant should Tnipont to withdraw a juror, and Mr. Marryat complied with proposal. Le: 1 Ellenhorough.— I think that Wiens,.
