Much hissing. $Mr Garrick= call'd for. No play &c. Cry'd out, at last the play was got thro' with much hissing and Groaning When the play was given out again One Party was for it no more and Kelly's party was for it again so that no play at all was given out (<i>Hopkins Diary</i>). [See Criticism in "<i>British Theatre</i>" article, <i>London Magazine</i>, March, also an extended account of the attack upon the piece. This occurs also in the <i>Town and Country Magazine</i>, which mentions that since the curtain was not drawn up for the farce the audience received a refund.]
