'Buggins' comments on several social and religious matters before turning his attention to current productions at the Royal Victoria Theatre. 'Buggins' writes in some detail about the production of John Oxenford's East Lynne and notes the performances of Under the Gaslight and Octoroon.
'Buggins' chides William Hoskins for the length of each nightly performance: 'I believe if Mr. Hoskins arranged his performances so that they terminated by eleven o'clock his business would greatly improve. Fancy East Lynn [sic] and a three act drama in one night – it is simply absurd. Why not announce Macbeth, to be followed by Julius Caesar, and conclude with a Farce.'
