Event Comment: DDaily Post, 1 Nov.: On Saturday Night they [the individuals who disturbed the performance on 28 Oct.] attended again in the Upper G allery, where having declar'd they came to disturb the Performance, they pursued their former Methods, with the same Success, to the End of the Play; when upon Mr Giffard's informing the Audience who they were, they were unanimously of Opinion to have them turn'd out...,The Manager mention'd before cannot be suspected to authorize such Behaviour....But what makes it most unlikely, is, that he sat in the Pit on Thursday, and was seen by every Body to applaud the Play
