During the third as of the new Comedy laD night
at Drury Lane Theatre, a fracas took place in the
boxes between a fair Cyprian, and a Gentleman from
the City, the former confideting !zed& infulted by
fome improper liberties the raid the laver took with
her, after giving her up a front place, and which pro
ducing warm words on both fides, terminated in the
lady's giving the gentleman a tap with her fan,
which he magnified into a violent blew, and infitied
upon one of the Conftables immediately taking her
into cultody, but who refuted till the aft was over ;
the party was then brought before Sir R. FORD, at
Bow-ftreet, who perceiving it to be one of tholeridi-
culous quarrels that fo often difgrace the Theattes,
recommended them to think no more of the affair, but
without effect, and both fides growing more violent
than they had been even in the Theatre, he difinifred
the complaint with the contempt it jullly merited.
