Event Comment: SSt. James's Evening Post, 2 June, quoted in
Grub St. Journal, 7 June:
Sir, As
Mr Cibber has had various ill-natured reflections cast upon him, for selling his share of the patent for
Drury-Lane house, and for not making it over to his son; it will be a piece of justice to inform the publick, that the reason which he gave for such a conduct was, that he chose to convert it into ready money, that he might make a proportionable division of what fortune he may happen to have among all his children.
Craftsman, 2 June: We have likewise received undoubted Intelligence from [
dl], that a considerable Body of malcontent Players, under the Command of that puissant Captain,
Mr The@@lus C@@r, have lately enter'd into a mutinous Association against their Masters, the Patentees, and still continue in a State of Hostility; which hath prevented any Plays being acted there this Week
