‘The betting boy’s career, from his home to the hulks’, ‘moral drama’ in two acts. Licence sent 3 August 1852 for performance at the City of London Theatre 9 August 1852. ‘Taken from the plates’ appears on title page, perhaps written by an E. F. Saville who has signed the title page in pencil. LCO Day Book Add. 53703 records the stipulation that the words ‘Louis Napoleon’ be omitted. For other versions see Add. 52933 U, 52933 V, and 52933 BB as well as a collection of supplemental scenes, Add. 52834 D. See also ‘The betting boy’ performed at the Adelphi Edinburgh, and another version, performed at the Victoria 16 September 1852, neither of which appear to have had a licensed script preserved in the LC Plays collection. Keywords: working class characters, poverty, gambling, convicts and transportation, crime, murder, prison and prisoners, debt and its consequences.
