Unknown £10 Unknown Mr. Sadler on Acct.
Unknown £40 Unknown Mr. Covey for Mr. Wallis Drury Lane paid various men named Wallis. At this time, it was paying the trustees Messrs. Wallis, Ford & Hammersley £40 each performance night, but there was just such a payment recorded for the same date as this payment to a Mr Wallis via Mr Covey. A Mr Wallis was also, or had been, the man to whom Drury Lane had paid its debts due the Garrick estate; no such payments seem to have been recorded in the account books this season, but may have been recorded as recently as 1798.
Annuities £4 4s 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.
