| Notes: |
| Nick Pope cites Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper of 19 Jan. 1856 to say that this match took place 'at Paris, last summer'. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle of 12 Jul. 1855 (p.2), the Liverpool Mercury of 29 June 1855 (p.11) and the Era of 1 Jul. 1855 (p.10) say it was played during O'Sullivan's 'late stay in Paris', so I guess that it finished in June 1855. |
