Unknown £200 Unknown Paid Mr Shields in full of all demands William Shield and, seemingly, a Mr J. Shield and/or Mr Shield(s) Junior performed musical services for Covent Garden, most notably music composition. But the theatre also loaned money from a Mr Shields and was repaying him around this time. It is difficult to tell which Sheild(s) was being paid here, and why; the size of the payment is arguably more in line with loan repayments.
