Ten pounds reward.  A burglary.  Whereas a number of evil
disposed persons, in the night, between the 9th and 10th
instant, burglariously and feloniously broke open the
gallery-door of the theatre, tore off, and carried away the
iron spikes, which divide the galleries from the upper
boxes; and had they not been detected and put to flight by
the servants of the theatre, who dwell in the house, would,
there is reason to imagine, have compleated their malicious
designs.  In order therefore, that the perpetrators may be
brought to justice, the above reward is offered to whoever
will discover any of the persons concerned in the said
burglary, to be paid on their conviction.  [signed] David
Douglass.    December 16.
