A bench of nineteen justices issues a declaration concerning jigs and dances performed as afterpieces in theatres. They note that such entertainments, customarily held at the Fortune playhouse, attract cutpurses 'and other lewd and ill-disposed persons in great multitudes.' The justices command, therefore, that such practices be abolished in all the London and Middlesex theatres.
