Performed at the Prince of Wales Opera House, Sydney, November 1868.
Buggins comments on the financial shortages faced by the new New South Wales government and also requests the new government to 'introduce the long needed reform in the police force'.
Buggins then reflects: 'We have had very little novelty in the way of amusements this week'. 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.
