(18**-18**) An officer stationed in Cape Town and a member of the Cape Town [[Garrison Players]].

He is mentioned as the treasurer for three productions done in 1852 in the [[Garrison Theatre]] by the [[Garrison Players]], with the collaboration of local amateurs. The plays done were ''[[Othello]]'' (Shaekspeare) and ''[[Charles II]]'' (Payne) on 24 March; ''[[Don Caesar de Bazan, or Love and Honour]]'' and ''[[The Thumping Legacy]]'' (Morton) on 13 April, and the same programme repeated on 21 April.

These productions were specifically mounted "for the benefit of the Widows and Orphans of the unfortunate soldiers who perished in the H.M. Steamer ''Birkenhead''". Unfortunately, according to a response by [[Lieut. Johnson]] to a query by the local critic ''[[Thespis]]'', and published in the Cape Town ''[[Monitor]]'' of 14 July 1852, the performances had apparently not served their intended purpose, as they eventually ran at a loss of £30.
