Singers £1 10s Internal Gibbon BD vol. 6, pp. 167-9 expresses uncertainty over the timeline of the Gibbons, but speculates that the actor, Mr. Gibbon, was paid until the end of 1802-03, at which point the singer, James Deverell Gibbon, began to be paid in his stead. But the nature of the payments, and the fact that Gibbon was paid sometimes with the singer Elliott in 1801-02, suggest that BD is mistaken, and that James Deverell Gibbon was the recipient as early as 1801-02.

Annuities £2 2s External Mr. Lacy Presumably a payment on Willoughby Lacey's annuity. 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.
