The inhabitants of Finsbury in the parish of St Giles Cripplegate petition the privy council to allow construction of the new theatre to continue. They offer three reasons for their request. First, they note, the place appointed for the new building is sufficiently remote from populated areas that it cannot cause anyone annoyance. Second, the erectors of the new building have promised to contribute a liberal sum to the relief of the poor. Third, the parish is willing to accept this means of relieving the poor, as they themselves are unable to relieve them.
