Dece'iiber 16. «jt Alphabetical Lift of Duties, Payable by law on all Goods, Wares, and Mei> chandize, imported into the United States—latest edition, to be fold by JOHN ORMROD, no. 41, Ch»fnut-ftreet. Dec. j6—d New-Theatre, December 11, 1797. THE Managers particularly reqaeft the con currence of the public in the abolition of a cuftosn, which lias hitherto obtained, ef giving a way or disposing of RETURN CHECKS at the Theatre. « They are aware that gentlemen are unconscious of any wrong dene to the interest of the inft tu tion by this practice, from a general, though rnif taken idea that Cheiks are the representatives of a right to so many feats in the Theatre, during an Evening's Entertainment, and transferable at will; when in fadt, they were never intended as more tnan tuhut by which the Door-keepers are enabled to afcertairs with the least trouble to the parties, that the* themfclvei have been before in the fheatfe, or paid for their admiffiun. Independent of the inj® y the Managers sustain, such a practice encourages a croud of idle boys and other disorderly persons to surround the doors of the Theatre, to the corruption of their morals and the great annoyane'e of the Audience. It has also been the fotirce of two evils of no iu confiderablc magnitude; one is, that fomctiines very improper company is by thel'e means admit ted ; and the otber, that owin 4 to Checks palling into difhonclt haut'.s, they have been frequenaly counterfeited to a large amount for the pur poles of Sale. This statement will, it isrefpeitfully hoped, in duce the Public to discourage fudi a traffic : and the exertio.-js of the Managers wilt, if thus allillcd, easily prove adequate to its entire abolition.
