10. Raymond's bt. Devil's Bridge, and Honest Thieves at the end of the Opera, the celebrated Amateur of Fashion (for this night only) will recite Bucks have at you all.

This Gentleman made his 1st app. at Bath Feb. 9 1810-on Dec. 9 1811 he acted Lothario at Hay. for the benefit of a Lady--the boxes were crowded with persons of fashion-but there was much tumult and shouting-on this, Lothario addressed the audience—and on the 11th he published a letter in the Morning Herald, in which among other things he says -" in regard to the innumerable attacks that have "been made upon my lineaments and person in the

public prints, I have only to observe, that as I was "fashioned by the Creator, independent of my will, "I cannot be responsible for that result which I "could not controul”—(D. C.) — this would have been a very proper reply to any attack made on him as a private Gentleman-but when a man will be so destitute of common sense as to act Lothario, tho' his appearance be such as totally to disqualify him for the character-no remarks made on his person can be more severe than he deserves Lothario exhibited himself again at the Hay. Feb. 24 1813 for the bt. of Cherry's Widow and Children--his general practice was to skreen himself under the pretence of acting for a charitable

occasion, but at Raymond's bt. his usual caution forsook him-the audience testified their disapprobation very strongly, and Raymond was obliged to make an apology for the insult he had shown them, by obtruding such a performer on their notice-see C.
