MS-B.770.035
24-27 Dec 1770:11 (1/55)
Saturday night the Duke of Cumberland appeared at Drury-lane
Theatre in one of the green boxes, with Mrs. B---, a married
lady of S---n. She is the wife of a gentleman belonging to
the Customs there, who has permitted her, in hopes of
preferment, to make an excursion with his Royal Highness, on
his taking his Bible oath that she shall be forth-coming
within nine months. This is the first instance of any of
the Royal Family's hiding themselves in an upper box at
either of the theatres.
