Lawyer Flam, his wife, and Flam's ghost sung with unbounded applause, by Mr. Dowton in the comic opera called "Up all night, or the smuggler's cave" performed at the English opera, Lyceum Theatre, Strand. [graphic]

"Scene in a lawyer's office with writing-desk, books, &c. An old man, flinching from a grotesque hairy Devil, who beckons him to Hell, is supported by a pretty young woman. On the wall are a print: 'Pilgrims Progress', a tiny figure surrounded by demons and flames; a notice inscribed 'Stamps'; and a pictorial '[Alm]anack'. On the chimney-piece a figure holds a (tilted) pair of scales and a candle gutters."--British Museum online catalogue
