"Notice.--To Carmen, Builders, Proprietors of Tea Gardens, Exhibitors, Van Proprietors, Travelling Equestrians, Providers of Illuminations, &c.--The Travelling Theatrical Property known as Richardson's Theatre, comprising Covered Vans and Parade Waggons, Scenery, Wings, Stage Front, Orchestra, with a double stock of beautiful scenery, waterproof covering, draperies, massive chandeliers, a great quantity of baize, flags, &c. Large coat of arms, variegated lamps and devices, eight capital 6-inch wheels, parade waggons, with two large flaps to each, two capital excursion vans, trucks, double stock of new scenery, shifting flies, fourteen long forms, large stock of book-cloths and baize of large dimensions, battened dancing-boards, erection of booths, handsome imitation stone front, two capital money-takers' boxes, with fittings up, handsome ornamental urns, large figures on pedestals, four guns and carriages, handsome pilasters, machinery, flooring throughout the building, with numerous scenery and stage devices, and every other article connected with the stage, a quantity of quartering, iron, old wheels, &c., &c., &c. Which will be sold by auction by Mr. Lloyd, on the premises, Richardson's Cottage, Horsemonger-lane, Boro'. May be viewed, and catalogues had on the premises, and of the Auctioneers, 5, Hatfield-street, Blackfriars-road." The property was completely dispersed; the timber and wood-work being purchased by builders, the waggons by wheelwrights, the canvas and tilt-cloths by farmers, and the green baize, curtains, fittings, etc., by Jew dealers. There is not the shadow of a pretence, therefore, for the use of the name, "Richardson's theatre," by any showman of the present day. The shows travelling after the sale and dispersion of Johnson and Lee's were, exclusive of menageries and exhibitions, Abbott's theatre, Jackman's theatre, and Fossett's circus. I am not sure that Reed's theatre was still in existence. Abbott's theatre was at the Easter fair at Greenwich in 1852, when Charlie Keith, since famous all over Europe as "the roving English clown," was fulfilling his first engagement in it as an acrobat. Robson, the comedian, was at the same time performing in Jackman's theatre, from which he transferred his services to Johnson and Lee's.
