an hand fome compliment to Our new Recorder. Evidence was then examined on the part of the profecution, but interrupted by Mr. Erikine, who with his ufual force and ability contended that Mrs. Perry was a legal evidence, and that by precluding her the Court would be deprived of the only proper witnefs; this was warmly objected to by the Counsel for the profecution, and referred to the decifion of the Recorder, who admitted the evidence of Mrs. Perry. After a trial of more than eight hours, Mr. Perry was acquitted, the jury finding him "Not Guilty," without going out of Court. RIOTS AT EDINBURGH THEATRE. On Monday the 14th was performed at the Edinburgh Theatre the tragedy of Charles the First. The houfe was particularly well filed on the occafion, compofed chiefly of perions well-affected to the prefent Conftitution. When the play began, feveral hilles were heard at any fentiment of loyalty uttered by the characters; and applaufes attempted when feditious or leveling doctrines were inculcated. The audience bore with this during the first and fecond acts; but being ftill perfifted in, the orchestra was defired to play "God fave the King," which was accordingly performed. It has been ufual of late, when this tune is played, for the whole audience to rife, and the gentlemen to and uncovered. Upon this being done, about eight or ten were difcovered fitting in the pit, who neither rofe nor took off their hats. It was immediately concluded, that these were the perfons who had disturbed the entertainment, and there was a loud cry of "Off hats," to which the others paying no regard, it was foon changed into "Out, out with them." This ftill producing no effect, a general uproar took place; feveral Gentlemen, and in particular fome Officers of the Argylethire Fencibles who were in the boxes, rufhed into the pit, and a fcuffle enfued. At laft fome refractory perfins were turned out, and the rest compelled to take off their hats. The play afterwards went on without any interruption; and, upon a fecond call for "God "fave the King," the perfogs who had been the occafion of the tumult immediately retired from the pit. On Wednesday the tragedy was performed again, when a renewal of the disturbance took place, which was, however, quieled without any bad confequences. The following is an extra of a letter from Edinburgh, dated Friday, April 18. "The tumult has by no means fubfided -the Magiftrates laft night, and their friends, nearly filled the house, infifted on the audience being uncovered at the playing of God fave the King." They fucceeded in their demands, for the oppofite party, on the fuppofition that the tranfaction was at an end, hed neglected to attend. They mean, however, o proceed in great numbers to the Theatre to-morrow night; and ferious cons fequences are apprehended," PROMOTION S. Common Pleas, vice Mr. Juftice Hellen, dec. The Right Hon.
