Provide feedback on The Convict Question
The Manager of the Theatre has been so ill
advised as to commence an action for damages
against the Proprietor of this paper for libel,
founded upon articles which have recently ap-
peared in our columns, denouncing the gross im-
moralities, obscene allusions, impertinent and
foul interpolations which have been introduced by
Mr Lazar into the performances ot late. If tried
by a jury of Light-square ladies, it is possible the
verdict might be against us; but that twelve citi-
zens (husbands, fathers, or brothers) can be found
to resist the complete justification which we shall
put upon the record is out of the question.
