During the performance of The SchoolfurSnl dal
last night at the Haymarket Theatre, a person in
the upper tier of Boxe.i amused himself in throwing
chewed fmit upon the.head of a Gentleman in the.
Pit.. The Gentleman, Mr. METCALFE, jun. of the
Coal Exchange,. bore this,offeasive outrage for somb
time with patience. but as the man in the Boxes-per-
severed, Mr. M. left the Pit, and had the man taken
into custody by. one of. the Peace Officers who-at-
tend the Theatre. The man was taken to the Bow-
street Office, but as no Magistrate was sitting, he.
was taken to the Watch-house in St. Mlrtin's.dane.
The Constable of the Night was not onduty. The
Otlicer, however, who had taken the offender into
custody, thought proper to detain him:. He stated
himself, to be a Sheriff's Officer and when Mr.
METCALFE gave in his charge, he charged that
Gentleman in return. A resperlahle inhabitant of.
the parish, however; answered for his appearance
before the Magistrate, and he was disChatged:
