Event Comment: Benefit for
Weston and
Miss Ogilvie. By Authority. Being
the Last Night. [Many advance bills noted
the continuous deferment of this on account of Weston's bad state of health.]
Mr Weston's late and precarious State of Health making it extremely doubtful whe
ther he could go through so long and laborious part as
Richard, he humbly recommends to
the Public
Mr Gentleman's friendly intention of undertaking
the Character for that Night, and will for
the Capital Entertainment of his Friends, speak a new
Occasional Prologue, and appear in
the Farce, that
the strength he has gained for some Days past may not be impaired by Fatigue
