In the latter end of her majesty's reign, Sir George received the honour of knighthood, and apen the institution of the order of baronet, he was amongst the first raised to that dignity, on the 22d Mav, 1611. Sir George Booth m. first, his second ousin, Jane, only daughter, and heiress of John Carrington, esq. of Carrington, in the county of Chester; by whom he had no issue, nor did he live long with her, yet he inherited the lands of her father; the same being strictly so settled by that gentleman, before the marriage of his daughter, to descend to the family of Booth; in which settlement, among other provisions, is one particularly worthy of notice: "That if she, The said Jane, should, after marriage, be detected of menstinency, the estate should remain to the family Booth." After the decease of this lady, Sir George Catherine, daughter of Chief Justice Anderson, of the Court of Common Pleas, and had several children,

II. SIR GEORGE BOOTH. This gentleman was committed prisoner to the Tower of London during the usurpation, for his zeal in the royal cause, and his efforts to restore the exiled prince. He had the pleasure eventually, however, of being chosen one of the twelve members deputed by the House of Commons, in May, 1660, to carry to that prince the recall of the house, in answer to his majesty's letters. And on Monday, 13th July, 1660, the House of Commons ordered, "that the sum of £10,000 be conferred on Sir George, as a mark of respect for his eminent services, and great sufferings in the public cause;" which order obtained the sanction of the House of Lords in the ensuing month.

An office which his Lordship executed so delicately that King JAMES was afterwards heard to remark; "that the Lord Delamere, whom he had used ill, treated him with much more regard, than those to whom he had been kind, and from whom he might better have expected it." His lordship was afterwards sworn of the privy council, and appointed chancellor of the exchequer, an office which he held but one year; when, upon his retirement, he was advanced to the diguity of EARL OF WARRINGTON, by letters patent, dated 17th April, 1690.
