Notes by Buggins Buggins , 1868 single work prose
— Appears in: The Freeman's Journal , 21 November vol. 19 no. 1337 1868; (p. 7)

He notes the Prince of Wales Opera House's production of Edward Fitzball's Christmas Eve; or, A Duel in the Snow, H. J. Byron's burlesque The Lady of Lyons and, in a little more detail, Joseph Stirling Coyne's My Wife's Daughter. Buggins briefly mentions the amusements at the Sydney Mechanic's School of Arts and at the Varieties.
