Notes

  • A brief column in this issue (2) announces that 'Mr. Joseph Simmons will make his first appearance at the Victoria Theatre on Thursday evening, in the character of Petrucio. Mr. Simmons will also play Jeremy Didler in the afterpiece, in the laughable farce of Raising the Wind.'
  • The column also reports that 'George Tasker, late collecting clerk of Mr. Jones the printer, of Bridge-street, was on Saturday committed to take his trial for embezzlement. He absconded about three weeks ago, and it has since been ascertained that he caused a deficiency in the accounts of nearly forty pounds. Three charges were gone into for sums he had received from Mr. Polack the auctioneer, Mr. Burt, of King street, baker, and Mr. Isaacs of George-street.'
