[News from London] At the play of King Richard the Third,
acted at the theatre in Drury Lane, a few nights since, a
lusty Wapping landlady was observed to be very attentive to
all the scenes in which Richard appeared, and to express an
abhorrence of his bloody acts and merciless disposition; but
in the last act, when Richmond fights Richard, just as the
latter sinks under his enemy, the good woman cried out in a
loud exclamation, "Stick him again! Stick him again!"
