Unknown £14 2s Unknown To Mr. Peacop in full Hutchison Mure was DL's mortgagee (lender), and perhaps became more directly involved in the theatre following Green and Amber's bankruptcy in December 1745. Milhous and Hume, in 'A Drury Lane Account Book for 1745-46', p. 101 list Peacop as DL's "housekeeper". There are six payments "To Mr. Mure Pd Mr. Peacop" (or "Peacote [?]") in this season's account book, and two further specifying Peacop alone, but it is unclear exactly whom was being paid, or for what, on each of these occasions.
Renters' Shares £105 External To Mr. Kyllegrew on acct. Mr Killigrew was paid £105 twice this season, once explicitly for rent, totalling £210. Milhous and Hume, in 'A Drury Lane Account Book for 1745-46', p. 104 observe that Charles Killigrew was named in a list of renters of 20 July 1743. He must have held multiple shares and/or not been paid for some time, or been paid for something else too, as £210 was an unusually high and round amount. For comparison, Mr Wallis was paid £11 13s 4d "for 1 Share 100 Night" on 14 January 1746.
