by Charles Etienne Boniface. A one-act play written in 1843, it was Boniface's first play in English, and perhaps the first written and performed in the Cape. An attack on Mr J.J. de Kock, a friend with whom Boniface had a quarrel. The title refers directly to de Kock and his company as well as the French word coquin (= rogue). The play is about three lawyers (one representing de Kock) who try to trick the legal system and fail miserably. Reprinted in the Willem Hiddingh Reprint Series (No 11) 1956 (University of Cape Town Library and South African Library).
