London. . . Feb. 23. . . The reason assigned for a Great
Personage's resolution not to see any more theatrical
representations, except Oratorios, this season, is, that the
latter are not frequented by so many of those who are stiled
the mob, as the former; consequently his M---y will not be
so liable to insults at the one, as the other. The last
time his M---y was at the representation of a play, it is
said, a fellow had the audacity, and savage rudeness, to
throw on orange at him, but fortunately missed his aim.
