Excerpt from Narrative of the Rise and Progress of the Disputes: Subsisting Between the Patentees of Covent-Garden Theatre In giving this true Jtate ot the circumllances referred to by him, 1 (ball necclFarily be drawn into an examination of his pamphlet, which, with fume other occurrences, will lerve as a difledlion of the heart and mind of the man. Paflion (as 1 told him before) is a human frailty, and therefore in fome degree excufable ., but rancour and malice, fupported by fallhood, are diabolical. The prefixed Addrcfs to the Pubiick (which is a compound of fer-vility and in foie nee, at once appealing to their tribunal, owning their authority, and rcfufmg to fubmit to it; contains only one charge which is not repeated in the body of the pamphlet. The charge is that of my having infulted feverql ingenious writers. ´ Among the many brilliant exploits of M;iT. Rutherford and Harris, after the forcible entry of the levenieenth of June, Mr. Harris has not told the world, that befides breaking open the prompter´s office, and carrying off the promptbooks, he alfo rifled a cabinet in that office, containing my private letters, all which he examined, and left in a condition that teltificd what civil perfons had been there. He there read fevcral letters that had paffed between* me and gentlemen who had offered pieces for the ftage. Some of thefc letters to and from me are, 1 believe, now in Mr. Harris´s poffefiion ; but with all this evidence in his hands, thus delicately obtained, 1 defy him to produce one proof of my having infulted any writer whatever. Mr. Harris opens his Letter with a charge of my writing all the nev/s-papcrs, the St. James´s Chronicle in particular. The few things which I have lately infcrtcd in the lad-mentioned paper, are written in a manner that fhews I did not wifh or mean to be concealed. Many other letters, &c. in the publication of which 1 had not, diredlly or indirectly, the mod diftant concern, have appeared in that and other pubiick papersbut it ill becomes Mr. Harris to throw out thefe infmua-tions, while he is himfelf continually running to all the news-printers in town with his own fcurrilous letters and paragraphs, and his friend Mr. Keniick´s dirty epigrams in his pocket ., having abfolutely opened an account current with the publifliers, and undertaken to pay a round price fur their differing their papers to become the rcgidcrs of his falfc-hood, and journals of his malignity.
