A Lover by Proxy! or My Daughter Sir! is a title for a play found on page 398 of F.C.L. Bosman, 1928[1] and it is cited as being "the Comedietta, in two Acts, by D.Boucicault, Esq., A Lover by Proxy! or My Daughter Sir! (Planché)".

Clearly is a confusing misprint and the plays involved were actually two one-act farces - A Lover by Proxy by Boucicault (1842) and My Daughter, Sir!, or A Daughter to Marryby Planché (1828), not a two act farce by two authors ostensibly performed in Cape Town on 29 May 1850.
