MARY AND JoHN-At the MiddIesex County Court,
Brentford, Mary Williams summoned John Jenkins,
for 2s money! alleged to have been lent to the faith
less swain, or, as she called him. 'Jahn. Both par
ties had been servants on the same farm, and the
tender hearted Mary had, from time to time, lent
sundry shillings to Jahn until at length it amounted
to the sum which she sought to recover-more than
this, jain had promised to marry and make good
woman of her, had given her his company had took
her to the fair at Brock green, and had never yet
com'd' from 'Lunnun without bringing something
for Molly; all this had led her To believe that jain
was trustworthy; but, alas, man, after all, is but
sinner, and what the her sex has in frailty, the
is kept tolerably even BY the Court-'What do you

PLAYHOUSE PRIcEs.-The cost OF admission 10 the
theatres in the days of Elizabeth was very moderate.
" Let me never live to look so high the two penny
room again" says Ben Johnson in his prologue to
at the Globe, on Banksde in 1909. The price Of the
best rooms" or boxes, shilling; of the lower
places, two-pence; and in places only apenny.
The two-penny room above mentioned was the gale
ry. Thus Decker: "Pay your two pence to player
and you may sit in the gallery" Belman's Night
Walk And Middleton "One of them is a nip;
took him once into the two-penny gallery at the
Fortune" The place, however, seems to have been
discredable for il is commonly described as the
sort of pckpockets and prostitutes. In Every Man
out Of his Hunor there is also mention Of She
lords room over the stage" The lords room an
swered the present stage boxes. The price of adj
mission 10 them appears 10 have been originally a
shilling. Thus Decker in his Gurs Hornbrook,
l6O9.-"At new play you take up the twelve-pen-
ny room, next the stage, because the lords and you
may seem 10 be hail fellows, well met"-Druids
