Event Comment: By Permission of the Lord Chamberlain. Benefit for Lady Perrott and her Orphan Family. Lady Perrott trusts that this will be her last appeal to public commiseration, hoping to obtain justice from her claims in Jamaica. When it is considered that these agonizing efforts to preserve five helpless children are made by a woman born to all the delicate indulgences attending on rank and fashion, every species of apology would be deemed an insult to be had of Lady Perrott, No. 28, Spring-street, Portman-square

Event Comment: [In mainpiece the playbill retains Mrs Bland, but "An apology was made on behalf of Mrs Bland, who was prevented from appearing in public this evening by a recent loss in her family. We understand one of her children was unfortunately burnt to death, by its clothes taking fire...Mrs Roffey undertook her plaintive air in the Fourth Act, and was favourably received" (Dramatic Censor, I, 311).] Receipts: #244 18s. 6d. (181.13.0; 62.3.6; 1.2.0)
