THE CASE OF MRS. _CLIVE_
Submitted to the PUBLICK.
In order to put an End to some false Reports, which have been raised in
Relation to my not acting this Season, as well as to bespeak the Favour
of the Publick, I have, by the Advice of my Friends, ventured to address
my self to them, from whom I have received many and great Marks of
Favour, and whose further Protection I now stand in need of.
I know Appeals of this Nature, which relate to Disputes that happen at a
Theatre, are by some thought presuming and impertinent, supposing they
are too trifling to demand Attention: But, as I persuade my self that
Injustice and Oppression are by no means thought Matters of Indifference
by any who have Humanity, I hope I shall not be thought to take too
great a Liberty. I am the more encouraged to hope this from Experience;
it having been observed, that those Performers, who have had the
Happiness to please on the Stage, and who never did any thing to offend
the Publick, whenever they have been injured by those who presided over
Theatres, have seldom, if ever, failed of Redress upon representing the
Hardships they met with: And, as I at this time, apprehend my self to
be greatly oppressed by the Managers of both Theatres, I hope I shall be
justified in taking this Method of acquainting the Publick with my Case,
submitting it to their Deter
