Thomas Harris (theatre manager)

Colman, with whom Powell sided, barricaded the theatre, and Harris, supported by Rutherford, broke it forcibly open.

On 23 July 1770 a legal decision of the commissioners of the Great Seal reinstated Colman as acting manager, subject to the advice and inspection, but not the control, of his fellows.

[1] Harris died on 1 October 1820 at his cottage near Wimbledon, and was buried in his family vault at Hillingdon, near Uxbridge.

[2] Henry later married Elizabeth Logan, aka Mrs Carey, mistress of the Duke of York in Bath on 31 December 1832.

[3] A daughter of Harris died in 1802, aged 15, and a son, George, lived to be a captain in the Royal Navy.
