This was the first performance of $Macklin='s afterpiece in <i>London</i>. It had been played in <i>Dublin</i>. "Its curious idiom, half-brogue, and half $Cockney=, puzzled the audience, as did its highly topical $Irish= allusions. With his usual candor, Macklin observed: 'I believe the audience are right. (The play was withdrawn after this single performance.) There's a geography in humor as well as in morals, which I had not previously considered--'" $Cooke=, <i>Macklin</i>, p. 270. According to $Kirkman=, in his curtain speech Macklin "courageously admitted: 'Ladies and Gentlemen, I am very sensible tha there are several passages in this play which deserve to be probated and I assure you that they shall never offend your ears again!' As soon as Mr Macklin had finished this address, the audience testified their approbation of his determination, by loud and reiterated plaudits" (Kirkman, <i>Memoirs of the Life of Macklin</i>, II, 3).
