'SECOND NIORT.

yr, Rl, t}t, MAY ...The disturbances last 0101-Ir..
were as great as on Monday. Soon after the coin,
Mencement cf the play (the Honey Moon) Mr.
KNIGHT, one of the Managers, came forward anti
addres.,ed the audience ; but as he would not agree
to half-price admission, the noise was so great,, he
was obliged to retire. Several persons were taken
up and conveyed -to the watch-house. About halt
an hour after the conclUsion of the entertainment,
the Mayor, from the front of one of the boxes,
desired d.
every person to depart in peace : he saki
therewas a clau,e in the lease-of the theatre; for
bidding the Managers tb make any alteration in the-
prices of adrni4iion, and that the Magistrates were
determined to use their utmost endeavouts to sue-
press so disgraceftil seei;e of riot and confusion.
On his retiring three groans were given for the.
Mayor, with cries of " No Mayor=no Corpora-
tioul" The advocates for half-price hitye. t'hought it,
prudent to retire troll the! pit aed boxes, and the
greater part of the disturbance was createl itt nie
gallery. As- the house did 'by uo means thin, the.
Mayorscame fotward second time; and requested
all -Gentleinen who were anxious for ort..7er, and de.
corum to &part inimediately, and doubted not but
others would soon folloW their exnaiple. ~In the.
course of ten tpioutes th,e boxes and pit were cow,
phftely 'deserted, :and those in the gallery, p.n tly
from fear of a t;umber of constables, and partly
of their own accorJ, returned peaceably to their
respective homes. ,
