1854: Was apparently to have been performed on 11 July 1854 by [[Garrison Players]] , as after piece to ''[[Charles XII; or, the Siege of Stralsund|Charles the Twelfth]]'' (Planché). It seems this did not take place due to the illness of the stage manager, but was probably done some time later in July, with the addition of ''[[Two Bonnycastles|The Two Bonnycastles]]'' (J.M. Morton). The performances were repeated on Friday, 18 August,  now with another  addition, that  of  ''[[The Honeymoon]]'' (Tobin).
