It appears 10 Moore's Life Of Sheridan that il was
matter OF great surprise to his friends, by whas
means he raised the money to purchase the eighth
share of Drury lane: various surmises have been
raised; it was supposed by some that Doct. Ford
advanced the money, and it has been thought Gar
rick had assisted him it appears from reference
to the books Of Richardson, 60, Charing Cross that
in the year 1T79, they sold to him the ticket No.

which, from his usual habits, he carefully concealed
from his friends This money was, therefore, ready

visible means, completed the purchase.
