Unknown £25 Unknown Mr. Moore on Acct. of Warrant of Atty. One or more Moores supplied various metals to Drury Lane 1787-1807, but it is unclear whether this was the same person.
Annuities £6 6s External Mr. Lacey Listed under "Paid by Dale". BD vol. 9, pp. 108-10 states that, from 1804-05 through 1808-09 Lacey was paid £6 6s. per week as part of "an agreement that he was to receive one guinea from every performance. He also was paid periodically on his annuity but, as was usual with Sheridan, those payments frequently were in arrears"; and that Sheridan paid the second Mrs Lacey "18 guineas due on her husband's annuity" in 1804. However, frequent multiple-guinea payments (sometimes £6 6s) to a "Mr. Lacey" appear in the Drury Lane account books from the 1797-98 season onwards. This suggests that the £6 6s payments made between 1804-05 and 1808-09 in fact fell into a longer-running series of annuity payments.
Renters' Shares £5 External Colyer Mr. for Spencer Mr Spencer was probably the heir or executor of Mrs Mary Spencer, who had owned a 1775 rental share. He seems to have claimed arrears from Drury Lane, and been paid regular sums over 1798-1800 as a result.
