Comments:
By Command of their Majesties. K. & Q. Richard-Mr Garrick (Cross Diary). Neville MS Diary: Garrick played Richard III. In attempting to get into the Pit was forced into the 2 shilling gallery Passage & after being squeezed abominably for an hour got into the street. Should not have received much pleasure if I had got in, as that calf headed son of a whore, George etc. was there
