COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.

•
Ssturday a Meeting of the Creditors of this Theatre
was field in the lobby. about 100 Gentlemen being
present.
Mr. Kasanut addressed the Meeting. stating, that
himself, and the Two Gentlemen to whom had been en-.
trured ibe managrment a the Theatre, were always
anxious to afford those interested in it every possible
information upon their conduct, and upon the state of
the funds of the establishment. To forward those views
use present Meeting had been called.
Mr. ROBIRTSON was called to the Chair.

Mr. Kemble read a correspondence that had taken
place between the solicitors of Messrs. Willett, Forbes,
and Kemble, and those of Mr. Hargis and Mr. Const,
calling upon the two latter Gentlemen to lay aside the
spirit of litigotion, and to co-operate for the getter:ll
interest of the proprietors, and of the shareholders and
creditors of the Theatre. Mr. Kemble stated, that the
debts of t* e Theatre were 5,0001. but that since he,
Mr. Willett, and Captain Ettibes, had had the manage-
ment of the Theatre, in 1822, they had paid off 66 0001.
They had paid into the Court of Chancery, out of their
own private property, 24,0001. to the benefit of the
Theatre, independently cf another sum of 19,0004
paid by the Receiver, and %loch the Master disallowed
in the Receiver's accounts. An ejectment had been
served by tise solicitor of the Doke nt *Bedford for two
years' arrear of ground rent, and othei proceedings at
law were now taking against the Theatre by credit .rs.
He should beg leave to move a resolution containing
three points-:-that the Theatre should continue tinder
the management td Capt. Forbes, Mr. Willett, and him-
self. for two months. when ant Cher Public Meeting
should be called. at which they would sender the
fullest account of their pi oceedings, and of the pecuniary
state of the Establishment. Secondly, that application
should be made to the Court of Chancery, for permission
to pay the ground tent claimed by theDitke of Bedford
out of the I ands of the theatre in that Court. And lastly,
tl at in the interim the creditors do agree to postpone
all proceedings at law for the recovery of their claims—
A pplanse). He could state, that sic cc his management
of the theatre, in no one season except the last had the
establishment sustained any loss; and he was convinced
that the property of the theatre was folly equal to' the
liquidation of all demands.
fhe speech' of Mr. Kestible was received with great
and unanimous approbation. Its the corretpondence,
Messrs. Const and .Harris declined any co.opetation
with Messrs. Willet, Kemhle, and Captain Fortrcs.
Mr. Const protested against his liability to atiy of the
claims made upon .the Theatre. dining the manage-
ment of Messrs. Kemble., Willett, and Forbes; and
Mr. Harris complained that they should have paid the
simple contract debts. leaving unpaid the claim ft tr
ground rent. He intended to appeal to the Lords
against the recent. decision of the Chancellor, and he
threatened legal proceedings if his name woe used as
a sanciion to the prt sent Meeting. Upon the resolution
brine pot trona the Chair..
Mr.Wuira rose to oppose it. He was convinced that
at the expiration ot two months the creditors wi,uld be
in.a.sti!l worse situation.
Mr. Ititevemt animadverted with great severity on'
the cdhouct 01 Mr. Harris It appeared to him that
the only way to lessen their difficulties, and to pave the
toad to prosperity, was V at proposed in the Resolution.
An interlocutory di-eu,sion took place between several
of the creditors, when the Resolution was put and car•
lied unanimously, with the exception of Mr. White.
A. conversation then took place 'dative to the execu-
tion which had been put it:to the Theatre by a creditor.
in the Lourse of witch it was stated that the name I f the,
creditor who had so acted, was Buckle, and that his
claim against the Theatre amounted to MA in a 5001
share.
A creditor proposed that it shonld be recommended
trt Mr. Buckle to suspend proceedings for two months.
in order that all the creditors should stand upon an equal
f toting; and that. Messrs. Kearble, Willett, and Forbes
might. not be unnecessarily embarrassed in their ccurse
ot proceedings.
In conseqottnce of this suggestion, a resolution, re-
commending gen-rally to the ctedithrs not present at
Ihe,Mee‘ing to agree to act on the principle of for.,
bearance laid down in the foregoing resolution, wai'
unartimi wily agreed to.
Thanks were voted to Messrs. Kemble, Willett. and
Forbes, for the candid statement of affairs of the
Theatre, which they had that day laid before the cre-
ditors. • Thanks having been also voted to the Chair.
