In 1831, Hall published a second series of 'Sketches of Irish Character' fully equal to the first, which was well received. The first of her nine novels, "The Buccaneer," 1832, is a story of the time of the Protectorate, and Oliver Cromwell is among the characters. To the "New Monthly Magazine," which her husband was editing, she contributed "Lights and Shadows of Irish Life," articles which were republished in three volumes in 1838. The principal tale in this collection, "The Groves of Blarney", was dramatised with considerable success by the author, with the object of supplying a character for Tyrone Power, and ran for a whole season at the Adelphi in 1838. Hall also wrote "The French Refugee", produced at the St. James's Theatre in 1836, where it ran 90 nights, and for the same theatre "Mabel's Curse", in which John Pritt Harley played the leading part.
