A Leap in the Dark

CHAPTER III
32/34

_A, B_, and _C_ form a partnership.

_A_ is by far the richest, and _C_ by far the poorest of the firm.

_C_ finds the terms of partnership onerous.

He may have a moral right to retire, but certainly he cannot have a moral, and would hardly under any system of law have a legal, right to say, 'I do not want to leave the firm, but I insist that the terms of partnership be remodelled wholly in my favour.' Nor again is it conceivable that _B_ and _C_ by uniting together could in fairness claim to impose upon _A_ disadvantages the burden of which he had never intended to accept.

(Opposition cheers) .-- Mr.Sexton, April 20, 1893, _Times Parliamentary Debates_, p.522.The confusion of ideas and the hesitation implied in Mr.Sexton's expressions are noteworthy.
[105] England adhered with absolute fidelity to her renunciation of the right to legislate for Ireland.
