London. . . The Grand Jury for the County of Middlesex at
the General Sessions of the Peace held by adjournment on
Thursday the 25th instant at Hicks Hall in St. John's
Street, . . . [8 irrelevant lines] And they also presented
all publick play-houses, booths or sheds, where plays,
drol's and interludes, are played acted or shewd, as great
nuisances, and intolerable prejudices to the publick, by
tempting, alluring and drawing many, especially, the youth;
from their duty to God, their parents and masters upon which
presentment the Court of Sessions desir'd and recommended to
his Majesty's justices of the peace residing in that
division, to put the laws in execution against so great and
growing a evil, and to punish all offenders who shall
presume to act in any of the premises abovemention'd.
