Comments:
On this date a troupe of French comedians were granted permission to import their properties (Treasury Books, 1672-1675, p. 14). Their goods arrived in London on 9 January 1672@3, and the troupe remained in London until at least 1 June 1674, when they were given leave to depart (p. 533). Their departure apparently did not occur until 19 Aug. 1673 (p. 571). See Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 241
