`The Manager respectfully announces to the. Playgoing Pub.
lic-of Liverpool, that in consequence of the enjust prosecu-
timielvith which he is threatened by an Establishment that
has repeatedly violated the trusts of its Patent or License; he
is advised to pursue a course similar to that rectently exer-
cised with such signal success in Glasgow, and •PETITION
HER. MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN
to grant a PATENT or. LICENSE, whereby he shall be
enabled, by fair and just competition, to Exhibit such Dra-
matic and other Entertainments as may be considered worthy
the high patronage which, even under severe restrictions, he
has already had the honour to receive. On a former occa-
sion, when almost a stranger in Liverpool, he was faroured
by some

THOUSANDS OF SIGNATURES,
in a few days, to a Memorial to the Lord Chamberlain, who
• had not the power to comply ; and having since that period
spent the best part of his professional life in catering for the
amusement of the Public, he hopes he may now be thought
not less worthy of support.
The Petition now lies at the Box Lobby and Pit of the
Liver Theatre, and at the different Newspaper and other
Offices, to which the signatures of the Playgoing Public. are
most respectfully solicited.

Mrs. WAYLETT, still received with the utmost applause,
