THE " REPRESENTATIONS" AT THE AMPHI-

THEATRE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.'
SIR,—Having perceived an Advertisement in your Jour-
nal, stating that the " Amphitheatre, Liverpool, on
account of its great success, would continue open for eighteen
representations more," '&c., &c., allow me to inform you,
that no part of my Establishment or Stud of Horses have
any connexion with the present Management. This state-
ment I deem necessary, lest the geneibus patrons, and sup-
porters of my productions. should accuse me of misleading'
them, by false announcements of closing at one period and
renewing at another. The favour of giving publicity to the
above will oblige,
Yours, respectfully, to command,
A. DUCROW.
Theatre Royal, Birmingham, March 24, 1843.
