This person, wanting every quality requisite for the stage, performed so very much to the dissatisfaction of the audience, that the piece was mutilated in such a manner that for some time it was insisted on that the whole should be repeated more perfectly and by another actor. This being impossible, some mischief was threatened, but after a short time the disturbance ceased" (<i>European Magazine</i>, June 1796, p. 396). <i>Morning Herald</i>, 30 Apr.: Tickets to be had of Master Welsh, No. 9, St. <i>Margaret-street</i>, <i>Westminster</i>.
