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
