BRANDON, by those who wished to wreak ou him their
vengeance, because they could not lay hold of Mr. KENiBLE
For our parts, even granting the statements of the Opposi-
tion papers to be literally correct, we can make every
allowance for him, considering the task be had to perform,
the constant agitation and irritation into. which he was
thrown, and the legal and Old Bailey kind of cross question-
ing with which he was assailed ; indeed, we are only sur-
prised at his general good sense and moderation during
these arduous avocations. His duty to the Managers he
certainly performed; his most inveterate enemies even now
allow him to have been an old and faithful servant, and we
think we can safely say that there are few men with so
many charges to prefer, and to support in the face ofperso-
nal danger, e ho could have conducted themselves and their
causes so well. We allow that the Managers ought to have
taken all the blame oft' his shoulders; but on this subject
the audience would neither hear hint nor theist ; they
ought then, perhaps, to have vindicated him in the public
prints ; had they done so, perhaps the clamour of the
second evening would not have obliged him to withdraw ;
this, however, we will say,that he has now masse every atone-
ment that reason or respect could require, and that the
public have established their right; let not then the rage
of personal virulence drive this old andfitiihjUl servant into
retirement ; the accommodation of the public themselves
requires that he should still superintend the internal ar-
rangements, instead of a stranger ; besldes, Mr. BRANDON,
out of his situation, is as much a John Bull as any of his
enemies ; he has his feeling's as alive to his oe:n honest
sense of the dignity of a man as they can have, and we
think that his behaviour on the stage denoted it. We
must again repeat, let not a long and faithful servitude be
changed into a banishment, which though not disgraceful,
must yet strew thorns on that pillow of comfort which his
industrious integrity and honest civility have enabled him
to acquire. Those who have caused his dismissal, may now,
without a forfeiture if Their own rights, plead pr his rein-
statement.
