Lessee and Manager, Mr. James Anderson.
THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Mr. James Anderson, lessee and manager of the Theatre Royal
Drury Lane, begs to acquaint the Nobility, Gentry and Public in
general, as well also Messieurs les Strangers, that he has determined
upon a GREAT REDUCTION IN THE PRICES OF ADMISSION
at the Theatre Royal. Drury Lane, on and after LASTER
MONDAY, APRIL 21st, 1851.
In order to avoid the reproach of taking an unworthy advantage
of the time, and those who honour us with their presence, the
essee has arranged his scale of prices so that they may tally, as near
as possible, with those of the continental theatres. And as every
one who visits these shores must of necessity be desirous
of visiting the National Theatre (so liberally patronised by the Go-
vernment, the Court, and the country) to witness the representation
of the immortal works of our great dramatist, the Dessee has, in
order to facilitate the wishes of all parties, determined upon the fol-
lowing scale of prices :

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1851.

in case referred to—a full report whereof will be

cordially agreeing with the Learned Assistant-Judge
in thinking that " the technical objection, however
