Paid Mr Ireland |
Presumed to be Richard Ireland the upholsterer, although Covent Garden's business with him seems to have fizzled out by this point: this was the last payment to any Mr Ireland, and the previous three payments involving him had been to his executors, with two of those payments specified as concerned former seasons. |

Paid Mr Lewis on acct |
William Thomas Lewis was regularly paid large sums as an acting manager, but also for interest, seemingly on bonds, and/or for investing in stock of some kind. The reason for this particular payment is therefore hard to determine. |
