The privy council writes to the Middlesex justices on behalf of the inhabitants of the parish of St Giles Cripplegate, concerning the building of the new theatre. They note that there are already too many like buildings in the neighbourhood, and that to suffer a new playhouse there would be a scandal and a displeasure to her majesty. They order the justices to have the construction stopped immediately and any building already constructed, defaced.
