the room, and will attend to the preservation of order, and
the accommodation of the company. When the rooms are
full, the Stewards in the inside will give notice to those at
the doors, who will order the Placard, announcing that
the room is full, to be held up on the outside of the house,
and the doors to be shut. The Stewards on duty will then
take their seats on the bench reserved for the accommoda-
tion of the Stewards, which is not to be occupied by any of
the Stewards till the doors are closed.
Two men are to be stationed at each of the three outer
bars, with instructions not to admit more than twelve per-
sons at a time, who must show their tickets as they pass ;
and when the Steward at the inner bar has taken their
tickets, and admitted them, he will order the outer bar t©
be opened for another party of twelve.
A person is to be stationed in each lobby, with books of
the performance, to be sold at 6d. each.
The Stewards are to meet in the mornings at half past
Eight precisely, in the Advocates consultation room, en-
tering at the top of the Back Stairs, by the back of the
"buildings, near the Friendly Insurance Office ; and in the
evenings at half past Five, at Mr Corn's house; when they
will deliver their tickets.
The Committee took into their serious consideration
what was recommended by the General Meeting in regard
to a mark of distinction for the Stewards ; and they were
of opinion, that those who were named for special duty
should have the distinction of a white ribbon at the left,
button hole ; which badge is to be delivered in the morn-,
ing by the Secretaries, and worn by all the Stewards. It is,
^recommended to the Stewards to appear in dress.
