Miscellaneous £25 External Mr Williams St. Martins Lane on Acct. John Williams was a button maker, but Drury Lane seems to have bought both buttons and "checks" (i.e. for use as entrance tickets) from him, hence the categorisation here as "Miscellaneous". Payment amount appears in an "Old Debt" column, which has its own running total, separate from this season's main running total. The "Old Debt" running total disappears after 20 June 1799, though "Old Debt" payments continue to be made thereafter and are not added to the main running total.
Total £101 4s 6d
