Last week died in the 88th year of his age, Mr. Bowman, belonging to Drury-Lane Theatre, who had the honour to perform several times before King Charles II. It is remarkable of him, that he was the oldest player, the oldest singer, and the oldest ringer in England. He was a man of a good character, a facetious, agreeable companion, and well respected, and one whom King Charles the II. often drank a bottle with. |
