For several nights a detachment of fifty soldiers protected the building and its approaches; but the public peace was not further disturbed.

The footmen were compelled to acknowledge themselves defeated.

They were admitted _gratis_ to the upper gallery no more.
Arnot's "History of Edinburgh," 1789, contains an account of a servants' riot in the theatre of that city on the occasion of the second performance of the Rev.Mr.Townley's farce of "High Life Below Stairs," originally played at Drury Lane in 1759.

The footmen, highly offended at the representation of a farce reflecting on their fraternity, resolved to prevent its repetition.

In Edinburgh the footmen's gallery still existed.
