Notes
The Play to night was to have been The Confederacy by Desire of the Duchess of Leinster with The Spoiled Child, both advertised on playbill of 7 May, for Mrs Jordan's benefit, but she suspecting the House would be thin pretended to be ill. Would not act
The West Indian and The Island of St Marguerite substituted
Aickin and Packer could not be met with and no other means of presenting The West Indian remained than Messrs Williames and Maddocks being permitted to read the parts of Stockwell and Capt Dudley. This the audience refused to comply with and insisted on having their money returned which was at last done
The pit was cleared not even one person remaining but during the second act four people came in
About thirty stayed in the boxes and not a sufficient number to fill the front rows in the galleries
