DRURY-LANE 71111A7PRL

Sir 'Rowdily, on the part of a greet majoeity of
the proprietors of this theatre, moved his Lordship to
grant an Injunetton to prevent the • Sub-Committee,-
consistiug of five persons, from proceeding in engaging
any new performers, or entering into any new contracts
on the behalf of the proprietors, considering the state
of their fitmL. • When the late theatreetas unfortunate—
ly bent down, there were a number a.engageittints,
and an Act of Parliament was reseed MOOLiealage a•
Committe.: of ten persons to raise the'sum'atoo,oool,
it: shares of tool. each, and the ethareholders to have
votes in proportion to the number of shares.' The Legis-
lature passed a second Act, in which the power of ma-
nagement was vested in a Sub-Committee of fwe-persone,
who had full power to appoint a manager and engage
performers, &c. The debts of the theatre amounted to
80,000!. and in June last a Select Committee was up-
pointed to investigate the matters referred to them, and
on the tith of that month they reported, and indeed it
was evideut, that the true, state of attars must have
Lon known torthe Sub-Committee. Severtaresoletions
were thrtned-beNhe•&siett Committee, which were read
and approved of try 41:e General Meeting on the Bth of
Jute. On the of July the Select Committee,
cave another.report of their eiThrts, and recommended
the suns of 17,4;001. to be raised by loan, and George
Coleman, Esq. -to he appointed manager. A Special
.Conitnittee, at. the same time, reported, that much of
the ineumbrmrees was occasioned by the facility with
which articles were procured front tradesmen, and also
from the very great number of orders for free admission.
The report tsars agreed to by the General :Meeting of
Propileors, at least by a majority of 44. The bill went
on to state that nu capital remained, but that money
must be raised •by loan. - Largo sums were due to ti:
performers, who had consented to receive a composition
the their debts on certain terms. The Court was there-
Line prayed to restrain the Sob-Committee from going
on. Ile bedew doubt the Court would at once-inter..

The Tema Chancellor granted thelnjunctien on this
