HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THESUIV„

Sin,— A journal having gated that Mr. Lumley bad
exacted from me the sum of 1501. as the insuperable con
dition of my being allowed to write an opera for Drury-lane
Theatre, and that I had purchased my position at her
Majesty's Theatre, &c, I beg to be allowed at once to refute,
through your kind permission, this groundless assertion, as it
will be seen from the following circumstances I am bound to
d,, in common honesty. Although, from the terms of my
written contract, I was debarred from writing for or making
any engagement with theatres or other establishments in
England, Mr. Lumley, on my application, granted me the
permission as regards Drury- lane. Not t ly did he demand
no compensation, but he gave me a sum in addition to my
said y, as an acknowledgment, as he was pleased to say, of
the manner in which I had discharged my duties.
To this must be added, that Mr. Lumley made an addi-
tion to my salary for tho ensuing year, in consideration of my
time being devoted, during the season, to the service of her
Majesty's Tueatre, to the exclusion of my engagements else-
where.

I need not repeat, that although I have passed.over in
silence the; h erless vas cks,, equally groc ,ittless, mad •u pan
me personallS.froM the'sam'same,ae, quarter, I was lxhilidto protestu
aplioat so great. an nriuth dit'ecte.l against,. o'rie‘ that has
acted most fairly and liberally towards me.
I trust, Sir, that this circumstance will excuse my trespass-
i.:tg upon your attention —I have the honour to remain, Sir,
your most obedient servant, N. W. 13 AL. I,' E.
