15 Feb 1786 Covent Garden £20 Paid Mr Pilon in full for all business done for the Theatre to this day Probably the author Frederick Pilon, though the description of the payment does not seem to relate to authorial activity. It may have been a different Pilon: BD vol. 11, p. 311 identifies a Mr Pilon, house servant at Covent Garden, on the basis of a 4 June 1788 playbill showing a Mr Pilon sharing a benefit with other house servants. However, it may be that Frederick Pilon did work at Covent Garden in some capacity, and/or that the latter Mr Pilon was a relative of the (by then deceased) Frederick's, receiving a charitable benefit on his behalf: on 31 August 1789 the theatre paid for a Mr Pilon's funeral.
