Comments:
Benefit for Miss Woollery. Mainpiece: Never acted here. [In mainpiece the playbill assigns Clifford to Browne, but he "declined playing the pathetic part of Clifford, although the bills contained his name: Williamson therefore supplied his place" (unidentified clipping in Enthoven Collection).] Public Advertiser, 19 July: Tickets to be had of Miss Woollery, No. 5, Delahay-street, Westminster
