The original text

First performed at the Theatre Royal Covent Garden in London, on January 19th 1837.

The full title as published in Webster's Acting National Drama by Chapman and Hall in 18**, is The Country Squire, or Two Days at the Hall, though it is wrongly given by Bosmnan (p.416) as The Country Squire, or Two Days at the Hill, though this may have been an error by the performers rather than the historian.

1848: Performed by All the World's a Stage in Cape Town as The Country Squire, or Two Days at the Hill on Thursday 21 September 1848 in the Hope Street Theatre, accompanied by the "celebrated Ethiopian Serenaders", a clog hornpipe performance and some comic songs, before concluding with the farce Advice Gratis by Charles Dance.
