 of the proprietors of +dl=, +cg= and +hay= to his opening the theatre.  He said
 that he had from the Lieutenant of the $Tower of London= what he considered to 
be sufficient permission, but that he would nevertheless close the theatre tempo
rarily.  Palmer's difficulty was that he had no really legal permission from any
body for the performance of actual plays.  See 3 July, and for further details t
he head-note to this season.  +World=, 18 July, prints an official accoudting fo

covered with shops, no passengers can be seen; the latter idea of boats being pl
aced beyond the bridge crowds the scene, and makes the bridge lose its grand app

lebrated discords between 'Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee' in the days of $Handel= 
and $Bononcini=.  At the commencement of the last dance hostilities commenced by
 hissing and hooting from the pit and boxes...The dancers, however, were not dis
mayed, but continued their evolutions, though the noise was so great that they d
erived but little aid from the music.  At last a body of malcontents, among whom
 were several stars and ribbons, sallied from the pit and took possession of the
 stage, from which they drove the light-heeled troops, and immediately began to 
perform a ballet tragique.  The chamber of +Ifigenia=r was despoiled of all its 
ornaments, and side scenes, and patent lamps; Roman tents and triumphal cars dan
ced on the stage in all the mazes of confusion, nor did they cease, till they ha
d demolished everything they found that was moveable.  $Mr Carnevale= came forwa
rd to inform the audience that $Mr Gallini= could not be found...The ostensible 
reason given for this riot, which in our opinion is not to be justified on any p
retense, is that Mr Gallini has not engaged dancers of sufficient eminence" (+Pu
