Bowes, the box keeper, conducted th.,,, to the froat
box ; bat they had not remained there long before
they vacated that box, and proceeded to the private
box of Lady Congreve, in which her bat lyabip and a
patty of friends were seated. The defendant, began
to knock at the door with their sticks. and demanded
entrance in such a loud tons that the audience and

propriety.

pose of kicking up a ace.
Mr. Stewart said lAA i was not till Mr. BOW/

find bail, to answer the charge at the Srsgions.
