On further enquiry, the reillowing ppears to be
a true Rat(!ment of the unfortunate Uffair.at the
ShakefFeare :—The party in cuffody had been
cuffing the licAirs, from twelve to three, at the
Malipterade. On leaving the Theatre, in a Rate
cf inebriation, they went to the Shakefpeare. On
entering the coffee .room, Mr. B. one of the party,
was by the waiter if he knew any of the
company tl.:n in the room ? Mr. B. replied, he
did not ; and added, " No Gentleman, I fuppofe,
kill ohjea to my being here." The waiter impro-
perly interfered, and &fired Mr. B. to go out of
the houfe. This the latter refaced ; upon which the
waiter collared him, and pufhe•-i him out at the
flreet door. B. then was joined by his two friends,
P. and C. they proceeded h( nic.vards ; but they
had not pt many paces, hcfore they perceived
two men coming towards them-with dicks in their
bands. The party, being unprovided with wea-
pons of defence, to :k to their heels, and P. being
dittanced by his companions, hid himfclf behind
the New Chapel, where he was taken prifbner by
the aff.:ilants (who were the waiters of the Shake.
fpeare). The other party, feeing What was going
forward, determined on releafing their companion;
to effea which, they pulled down a part of the
paling of an adjoining gar-Jen, and, being each
armed with a plank, a batde royal commenced ;
in the conflia one of the waiters was wounded in
the right fide by a nail, which unfortunately was
in one of the pieces of paling. The nail lacerated
an artery, and he fainted from lors of blood. Sur-
geons were fent for : Mefl'rs. SILVER and Jarvis
attended, who pronounced the patient in danger.
Warrants were immediately granted by Mr. Coin,
and the parties were apprehended- about eleven
o'clock at their lodgings. • They were fent off in
a fociable and four, under an efcort of three con-
(tables, to Dover.
