The Wrong Man at Covent Garden Ends in Disapproval
A farce at Covent Garden titled The Wrong Man drew harsh criticism for its tangled plot and poor execution. The comedy revolves around mistaken identities as Beechwood and Tack impersonate others, leading to a rash of kisses, enmities, and confusions before the curtain falls. Notable notes include Sir Bryan Beausix’s failed romance, Mr. Harley and Mr. Mathews delivering tries, and Charles Kemble’s return to health. A celebratory dinner at the Albion honored F W Collard, with music by Cooke, Parry, and others, marking fifty years in London.

Alleged murder from the administration of deleterious drugs
A Bow Street inquest heard from sheriff’s officer John Hambly and witnesses about the death of Michael Aurigier at 59 Drury Lane. Testimonies described intoxication, social drinking with John Richard Packard, Joseph Packard, and Thomas Kennett, and the post mortem found no poison but signs of extreme intoxication and probable apoplexy. The jury returned a verdict that Aurigier died from harm caused by his removal and drinking while intoxicated, under the men’s conduct.
