Actors £26 Internal Charles Bannister in full for Salary Season before last & all demands
Performers (Other) £4 10s Internal Holmes for 12 Nights
Musical Services and Supplies (Other) £6 15s 9d External Smarts Bill for Music Presumably George Smart (1751-1818), musician and music seller described in BD vol. 14, pp. 122-23. He is recorded as a member of the Drury Lane orchestra in 1778-79, and probably served in this capacity in other seasons. But BD does not mention him working at Drury Lane in the 1790s, and it states that his independent music business operated until 1805; hence this payment was likely made to him as someone external to the theatre.
