Renters' Shares £20 External Hamilton for Spence The nature of payments made to Mr Spencer over the 1798-1800 seasons, and the grouping of Spencer with an old renter named Ogden at one point, suggest that the person in question was the heir or executor of Mrs Mary Spencer, renter of the 1780s, and that he or she had successfully sued Drury Lane over arrears.
