Ca. 1857-1862: Called a "drama" in the publicity pieces, it was performed as part of a "Great Attraction" (probably a pantomime evening) presented in the Theatre Royal, Ceres, along with other locally devised items, such as the "laughable farce" of Wishing for Justice and the "drama" The Fight for the Fat Widow.
