London.  Feb. 6.  At Covent-Garden Theatre one John
Semerford tumbled from the upper gallery into the pit, being
10 yards, without receiving any hurt.  When the play was
done, he told Mr. Rich, that he had made himself free of the
gallery, and hop'd he should have the liberty of going into
it when he pleas'd; to which Mr. Rich consented, with a
provided always that he did not come out of it in the same
abrupt manner.
