Lure ei-ls-Alodr, an apohaq having been made for
the absence of hlr. Coot,e, and Mts. 1-luneplilibes.
on account of indisposition. IA beinrr apprrisensive
that much mischief would arise in the Ilreatre, har-
ing oliserr.....kaasny oranges, itTir.ange peels, and ap-
ples having been thrown upon the Stage, at Mr.
Lewis, Mr. E:nery, Mr. Simmons, Mrs. Daven-

of the seats near the Orchestra, t ow an orange
pre towards Mr. Lewis, upon wh he went and
secured him, and took himbut of the Pit.
ti Richard Limaeriek, the patrol,. said, he is en-
gaged by the Managers to assist iat keeping the
peace ; and he had no doubt but thesprisoner was
one of the persons who threw different thins upon
the Stage at the Performers.
The Prisoner.,in his defence, ad/4*d that be
threw a piece of orange peel on the Stage, but not
for the purpose of striking any of the Performers ;
and two men near him threw several orange peels
at the Performers, betcre ha thieve any.
The prisoner was ordered to find bail to answer
the charge at the next Westminster Sessions. Mr.
Bost*. however, observed, that as the Prisoner was
a respeCtable young man, and had condueled him-
self w:th t deal of propriety since he was in cus-
tody, he hoped the Maar:gets would not prosecute
Mr. Brandon, Mr. Leivis, and Mr. Farley at-

sent information to the Theatre, that he found him-
self so much indisposed, that he should not be able
to perform on Thursday. Lore af-/a-Ilfade was r
accordingly advertised on Thursddy, without givin::
any notice to the Pe:formers wanted in it ; that "nst

disgraceful difficulty.
