UNION-HALL.

PRIVATE THEATRICALS.-Fi ye young men, named
Mlle, Goring, Miley,. King, and Bromley, were
charged with performing ,a play in an unlicensed
place. The defendants, on being placed at the bar,
excited much amusement, each being dressed in the
costume of the character he, played on the preceding
night. A variety of theatrical dresses, together
with helmets, swords, daggers, &c., were produced,
all of which had fallen into the hands of the police.
Mills, it appeared, who was by trade a glue-maker,
took a barn in the neighbourhoed. of Mill-pond-
bridge, Rotherlsithe, where himself, the other de-
fendants, and a number of amateurs, were in the
habit of performing. The neighbours, however, hav-
ing complained of the noise that was created, the
police received instructioris to take the offenders
into custody. Mills said he had given up his trade
of glue-making for the sock and buskin, and he
hoped soon to have an engagement at one of the
Minors.

Mr. CuAwn:its—What was the play last night i)
Mills—The play
.was Blue Beard, which was to
have been followed by the Devil to Pay, had not
the police disturbed us.
Mr. Cll.43llllMS—What character did you take in
Blue Beard? Mills—Why, to tell your Worship
the truth, I went out of my usual line, lest night,
and played one of the legs of the Elephant in the
piice.—(Laughter.)
hlr. CHAMFAIS remarked that Mills, as manager,
bad descended very much in playing so very low a
part as the leg of an Elephant in his own theatre.
Upon which Mills said they were obliged to make
shift sometimes; but, added he, your Worship, I
can play Richard, Othello, and all Mr. Kean's prin-
cipal characters, and I can immure your Worship that
it would astonish you to hear the. applause 1 Meet

with.—The Magistrate, however, ordered him to int!
bail. Bromley, who played the fiddle in the thee,*
wits also ordered to find sureties to keep the pest*
