THE CASE OF PALMER.

MANSION-HOUSE.—The following letter was
received by Mr. HOBLER yesterday, on the subject of Mr.
SHERIDAN'S payment of the theatrical receipts for 'the benefit
of the family of Mr. JOHN PALMER :
" SIR-1 beg leave to make every apology in my power for
trespassing on your valuable time, but, as I see by The Times
newspaper of yesterday, my assertion relative to Mr. Sheridan
is contradicted, I beg leave to state the following facts :—The
money paid at the doors fbr admission was most certainly re-
ceived by the family, as stated by Mr, Dunn ; but the ticket-
money, including presents (one from the present Countess of
Derby, for fifty pounds), was received by Mr. Fos-
brook, who is still living, and resides within a few
doors of the 'White Swan, Kennington Common, and paid by
him into the hands of Mr. Sheridan. I beg leave to state fur-
ther, that Mr. Sheridan, a few days previous to his death, ac-
knowledged the debt in the presence of my sister Isabclla,who.
as well as my sister Lucretia, never received the money, and
sent his son, who is still living, into the drawing-room of No.
14, Saville-row, Burlington-gardens, to say it should be paid,'
which I assure you, Sir, never was the case. Shortly after Mr.
Sheridan's death, an advertisement appeared in the paper call-
ing on all persons having any claim on the deceased, to make
known the same to Mr. Burgess, attorney, Curzon-street, May-
fair. My claim was immediately drawn out by an attorney,
and sent in, and was not for a moment disputed. I trust, Sir-
that you will excuse my taking the present liberty, but
should ill deserve the kindness shown me, had I commenced
my melancholy tale with a falsehood. I have inclosed an ac-
count of the manner in which I have laid out the money his
Lordship was kind enough to give me; and as it is a well-
known fact that my sister Isabella has been through life a
mother to me, I trust I have not exceeded your wishes in ren-
dering her a little assistance.—With the most grateful thanks
for your kindness, I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient
humble servant,

EDWARD THURLOWE PALMER."
The Lord Mayor stated that he received a note from Mr•
Fawcett, the stage manager of Covent-garden Theatre, almost
immediately after the humane notice of the case of Mr. Palmer
appeared in the public prints. His Lordship thought that the
contents of the letter merited the highest commendation. By
means of the contribution alluded to in it, anti that which hod
been received from Drury-lane Theatre, together with some
donations from a few charitable individuals who admired the
father and pitied the son, it would he probable that the object.
of the charity would be enabled to get into some decent way of
supporting himself and his wile. His Lordship added, that he
observed from the items which were inclosed in Mr. Palmer's
letter, that the first' debt discharged by him was that to his
landlady.—Mr. Fawcett's letter was as follows:
" MY LORD _Observing your humane interference in be-
half of Mr. Palmer (son of the late Mr. J. Palmer, of Drury-
lane Theatre), I beg to acquaint your Lordship, that by Act of
Parliament, Covent-Garden Theatrical Fund is prevented from
granting annuities to any but those who have subscribed and
belong to it. But I have great pleasure in having it in trY
power (with the concurrence of my brethren) to send temporary
assistance to the unfortunate person, and if your Lordship wt
ordez.the enclosed draft for 11/. lls. (tcyn guineas from the fund,
and one from myself) to be disposed of for that purpose, Y°l4
will greatly oblige,
" My Lord, your most obedient, humble servant,
"JOHN FAWCET'
