London. . . On Thursday night a man intoxicated with liquor
was so elated with the performance of Columbine, at Sadler's
Wells, that he, after expressing the greatest admiration in
the most vociferous terms, jumped from the top of the
balcony to the stage, where he broke his arm, and terrible
bruised on of the musicians on whom he fell; he was
immediately taken care of by Mr. King's people, and carried
to a neighbouring surgeon's.
