Ladies send servants by three o'clock. [The note about full prices is repeated throughout the run of this pantomime this season.

Event Comment: This night [see Public Advertiser 13 Jan.] about the middle of the play at Covent Garden, a Gentleman who sat in one of the gallery boxes, ask'd another who sat next him if he could lend him a knife; on being told he could not, the former pull'd out a small pen-knife and stabb'd himself; which occasioned some commotion in that part of the house; he was immediately carried to the Shakespeare's Head, and Mr Baker the surgeon dress'd the wound, which the gentleman suffer'd with great constraint; He would not tell who he was, nor what was the cause of this rash action

Event Comment: The contending Parties [i.e., Murphy and MacNamara Morgan] Met again on Fryday at the Bedford, in order to accomodate Matters, but words arising, because Mr Murphy did not ack[nowledge] pardon and cried enough, as Mr Morgan said, some blows past & swords out-but no mischief. Morgan denies the letter (Cross)
