for disorders in Covent Garden Threatre. that
any cooperation, even Of the least violent
nature, in deliberate and premeditated tu-
multi at the theatre, is breach of the peace
and is punishable BY law. His language is
as follows:
~The audience have certainly right 10
express by applause or Kisses the sensations
which naturally present themselves at the
moment; and nobody has ever hindered, or
would ever question, the exercise of that right
But il any body Of men were to go to the
theatre with the settled intention OF kissing
an actor, or even Of damning piece, there
can be no doubt that such deliberate and
and preconcer,ed scheme would amour, to a
conspiracy, and ,ha, the persons concerned
IN it might be brought to punishment II
is not necessary, to constitute this crime, thai
personal violence should have been commit
ted or that house should have been pulled
