1868
single work
prose
— Appears in: The Freeman's Journal , 1 August vol. 19 no. 1321 1868; (p. 2)Buggins first discusses a case in which the acting police surgeon failed to attend, in a timely manner, an ill man (who later died) in the police cells.
Buggins then reflects on Mr Burford's benefit night at the Royal Victoria Theatre on 28 July 1868. The selected plays were Tom Taylor and Charles Reade's The King's Rival and Douglas Jerrold's Black Eyed Susan. Buggins suggests that Burford 'ruined his chances of a good attendance' by choosing the former, and proceeds to outline the play's history, plot and characters.
