For this purpose, in order to meet a portion of the consequent ex-
penses, and induce a personal interest of the patrons of the drama
in the undertaking. Mr. Webster has determined to issue a limited
number of Debentures (not to exceed 50 at the moot) to the public,
bearing interest at 5 per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly, and
secured uorn the freehold of the Royal Adelphi Theatre, as well as
upon the aloining freehold above mentioned. Only applicants will
be attended to who can give undoubted references of respectability.
Each debenture to be 5001. payable as follows : 101. per cent. to be
deposited on application for debenture or debentures, which will be
returned, free 01 all charge, if no allotment is made, 2501. on each
debenture up,n allotment, less the deposit; and the residue by
monthly sums of 501., from the day of such allotment, which sums
will bear interest at the rate aforesaid. from the time of their re-
spective payments to Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co.
By way of bonus, each debenture is to be entitled to a free ad-
mission (annually transferable) to all parts of the theatre before the
curtain, orchestra-stalls and private boxes excepted, which will ad-
mit the debenture holder, his or her nominee (to be of course of ap-
proved respectability), to every public performance throughout each
year, commencing from the 29th of September.
