Exchange No Robbery is a three-act comedy by Theodore Edward Hook (1788-1841), performed at the Theatres Royal at Covent Garden and at Drury Lane, and published with explanatory notes by John Cumberland in 1825. According to the notes this play's central incident is based on an earlier work called He Would be a Soldier by Frederick Pilon.
It appears to have been confused with another play Exchange No Robbery, or The Diamond Ring (Peake) by F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p 188). However the character list provided by Bosman points to the play by Hook.
