"A considerable tumult prevailed last night among the audience of this Theatre, on account of the unavoidable substitution of $Miss Chapman= and $Mrs Harlowe= for $Mrs Esten= and $Mrs Wells= (who are both indisposed). It was not that the audience objected to the former two, but because the names of Mrs Esten and Mrs Wells were printed in the bills usually sold about the Theatre, though not in those properly issued from the House. [Mrs Esten's name, however (but not Mrs Wells'), is listed in the "House" playbill for this night.] The audience were very violent, and the actors, after having nearly finished the first Act twice, were obliged to begin the Comedy a third time, before it was suffered quietly to proceed" (<i>Morning Herald</i>, 9 Feb.). "The fracas at <i>Covent-garden</i> Theatre on Wednesday evening was occasioned by the dexterity of certain <i>Lottery Office</i> keepers, who, in order to give notoriety to their shops, daily cause spurious Dramatis Personae of the theatres to be circulated; and on the reverse of these bills is conspicuously held forth the advantages of the public paying their cash into their gambling treasuries" (<i>Morning Herald</i>, 10 Feb.).
