Monday 5 February 1810
Hampshire Chronicle

Old Drury - The most numerous meeting ever collected, of the Renters of this Theatre, took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on Wednesday. Our may recollect, perhaps, that at the last meeting, certain particulars were referred, to be settled in concert with the Proprietors', the Trustee' and the Renters' Commission. The subject before the meeting of Wednesday was, therefore, to consider the Report of their own Committee, which was distinctly stated by Mr.Hosier, the Chairman of the

e Committee, and the Chairman presiding at the meeting. Nothing could exceed the cordial unanimity with which all the resolutions adopted by the Committee, in concert with the Proprietors, were received.  - - - He felt the liberality of Mr.Sheridan, in so readily giving his assent to the proposition; but liberality on the part of the Renters. It was manifest that every thing was done for the Renters, compatible with the rebuilding of the Theatre, if any such surplus should arise, as Mr.Sheridan supposed in God's name! let Mr.Sheridan, who had acted so fairly towards all constituting the present meeting, and who has announced his intention of retiring himself wholly from the concern, when he has seen its fair creditors duly satisfied, have the power of making over any such surplus to his son and his infant family; and do not let us, satisfied as I think we ought to be, grasp it from hin, even with his own consent. (loud and general applause.)

Mr.Heath, the barrister, agreed with every word and sentiment that had fallen from the Chairman. He would, however, second the motion; in order that a direct negative might be put on the proposition. The question was accordingly put, and unanimously negatived.
