A column by the author (William Kerr?) complaining to Joseph Wyatt, the proprietor of the Royal Victoria Theatre, Sydney, about the actor Albert Spencer (1811-1854) being drunk on stage. The author adds that '... the Colonial public do not feel inclined to allow themselves to be insulted and the stage polluted by the presence of a drunken buffoon...', and a warning to Wyatt that if 'offenders against decency' are allowed to continue 'the dress circle of [the] Theatre will very soon present but "a beggarly account of empty boxes".'
