Event Comment: Benefit for
the Unhappy Sufferers by
the late Dreadful Fire that happened in
King Street,
Covent Garden. Places for boxes to be taken, and tickets to be had of
Mr Sarjant, at
the Stage Door of
the Theatre; where, if any persons are so charitably disposed as to send more than
the price of
the ticket, a receipt will be given him to
the person who brings it. And
the profits arising from such Benefit Play, will be paid into
the hands of
the Church Wardens of
St Paul's,
cg, and
St Martins in the Fields, to be distributed by
them for
the purposes intended. And as
there has been no interest made for this benefit, more than arose from
the Advertisements in
the public Play-Bills, it is hop'd
the Inhabitants of
the above parishes will favour this charity with
their personal appearances at
the said
Theatre this Night. Receipts: #128 13s. in cash plus #42 5s. (169 Box tickets). Total Income #170 18s. Charges #64
