Wednesday, in consequence of an information
instituted by the Society for the S : npression of Vice
and Immorality, several young 11,C11 were charged
with having a Theatre uthicr the title of the,
TimLan Society," in Creen-street, 'l'heobald's
Road, which appeared to have been finished in a
tasty style, laid out in boxes, pit, and galleries,
capable of containing upwards of 400 pernr.ns, to
see plays. The pieces tor representation, ptinted
on cards, were sold to the informants for two shillings
each, to sec the performance of The Heir at 14.w,with
The Pyue ; and tin- another representation, which
was to have taken place on Tuesday night, namely,
Tl, Poor Gentleman, with a farce. The officers who
went into the house to disperse the audience, declared
upon oath that great indecencies were observed
a:long the :t.l.)rs and actresses.
A proprietor of the Theatre, and several perfor-
mers, denied all the charges, stating that they, with a
number of respedable young people, subscribed mo-
ney among themselves for the support of the Theatre
for their amusement, and that of their friends, there-
fore made no advantage of it ; but it was proved that
tickets were sold by a servant belonging to the house,
who partly confessed 'it.
The Magisti ate, in consideration of their engaging
to close th, Theatrc, dismis!ed them with an admo-
nition; bin it is in contemplation to india the real
landlord, for letting the place for such a i.uri)use.
