Mr. TRows&-.. if they who oprfe this have 1

The •ATTORM lY GENERAL, on the behalf of the
Defendant, (aid, the quetlion was, if the orerd of his
s
ILordfhip did or did not aired the property of the
boxes. The words of the order defcribed how the
great proportion of the produce is to he appned, but
defrgnedly excludes the rents of thefe boxes. That
order applies the nightly receipts ; but this was no
part of fuch nightly receipts. In thi, cpieilion. tslr.
Sheridan was not perfeinally concerned ; the real par-
ties were under Mt. Wm. Adam.% deed of .Boz.
Now what had been their real fituation ; prior to that
time, Mr. Sheridan had been very hardly prelied by
them, they had followed up their claims in courts
ofjultice, many of them had oblained judgment. and
the wardrobe, reentry, and complicated property of
the Theatre, were carried to numerous executions ;
the whole was in immediate dang of
er beirg emptied,
difmantled, and dilapidated, under jh difcontent and
violence of there claimants. In this fituation, to pre-
vent the ruin of the whole concern, the deed of 18ox
was executed, and thefe creditors were appealed. It
*as the intention of all the parties, that thefe boxes
fliorild be excluded from the general null of .793.
The parties to that trust were summoned by public
adierfifement, and Sir R. Ford, with leveret others,
attended; with their concurrence the deed of 180:
was executed. Mr. Sheridan, in his affidavit, fubmit•
ted to the attention of the Court his view of the elm
defign of all the parties, and the converfation be bad
with them, as explanatory of their intentions. - They
aged in a way which obvioufly manifelled, that they
were fat isfied with the legal and equitable claimsof the
creditors, under the deed of 18oa. and with the mode
in which theft demands were to be difch4rgeel.
Mr. ALaxasata and Mr. Psoctorr having follow

faisfied, that the words nightly receipts were not
intended to coniprife the rents of the fifteen boxes.
There was a patent to be paid out of the effens of

of Old Drury. Then came the deed of t 793. and
it contained a great variety of engagements;• and,
among there, tlipttlations between Mr. 'Sheridan,
the Trait-lees, and the Renters. His Lordfbip then
entered into a long detail, examined the fubtcquent
engagements, and compared thcfe with the order of
September, 18oz. He noticed, that in this order,
under the Ityth article, the deed of Mr. William
Adam was recognifed; he expreffed the anxiety of his
mind, under the abfolnte impnllibility of doing juf-
ties c.o all the parties ; he laid no human patience or
