Event Comment: Benefit Poet Trapwit. By his own particular Desire. N.B. The Spectators are desir'd to take no Notice of the Tragedy, but attend very closely to the Comedy, there being several fresh Jokes new cloath'd at Second Hand for the Use of that Night. As there is little Hope of a great Demand of Tickets, or Places for that Evening, the Doors will be open'd by Six o'Clock in the Morning, and constant Attendance the whole Day given, for fear any Application shou'd be made for either. [The Daily Advertiser also carries a notice to the effect that "Copper-Plate Tickets representing the Murder of Common Sense" will be available.]
