The Lawyer in the Sack, or Jack's Return!!! is described as a "Ballet Dance" (or "ballet with dancing"), possibly devised by H. Booth.
First performed by All the World's a Stage in Cape Town on 30 January, 1832, along with The Iron Chest, or The Blood-Stained Knife (Colman) and The Sleeping Draught (Penley).
Bosman suggests that this may have been a follow up piece to the "new Ballet Dance" called Jack at the Cape, or All Alive Among the Hottentots!, which was first performed in Cape Town by All the World's a Stage on 7th January.
