LONDON, October 4
"The Times" publishes the text of Dr. Wallace's documents. They are the most interesting since Green's discovery of Shakespeare's will in 1747. The deed traces the history of the Globe and Blackfriars Theatres from 1599 to 1616. Shakespeare owned a seventh share of the Blackfriars Theatre and one-fourteenth of the Globe Theatre. The total annual rent of the Globe was £141 2s. The exact site of the Globe was not;, where the present brewery stands, as is generally supposed, but at the opposite side of Park street, which was called Maiden lane in Shakcs-pea-re'e time. Dr. Wallace states that the Globe, Rose, Bear Garden, end Hope Theatres were all between Maiden lane and Bankside.
