_Was Hugh Peters ever on the Stage?_--In a pamphlet entitled _Arbitrary
Government displayed to the Life, in the illegal Transactions of the late
Times under the tyrannick Usurpation of Oliver Cromwell_, ed. 1690, p. 98.,
we are informed that Hugh Peters, after he had been expelled the University
of Cambridge, went to London, and enrolled himself as player in
Shakspeare's company, "in which he usually performed the part of Clown." Is
there any other authority for this statement?
