A
PARAGRAPH having appeared in some of t Lon-
don papers stating that the Liver Theatre, in is town,
would open for Dramatic Performances on th of this
month, I, on the part of myself and Co-Les o the
pThe-
atre-Royal, think it necessary to GUARD FORMERS
AGAINST ENTERING INTO ANY E AGEMENTS
for the LIVER THEATRE, such establi anent not having
any license or authority for Performances of the Drama ; and
the late manager was fined Fifty Pounds for an infraction of

the law a few months since, andda similar penalty would have
been enforced against three of the performers engaged had
not the matter been compromised by the Manager of the
Liver Theatre undertaking the payment of a further sum of
twenty-five pounds to the different charitable institutions of
the town. W. J. HAMMOND.
