Actors £10 Internal Mr. Wroughton BD vol. 16, p. 299 seems to suggest that Wroughton's second stint as stage manager began in 1800, but it was only from the 1804-05 season onwards that account books called him "Manager", and his salary payments 1800-04 suggest he was only an actor during that period.

House Servants (Other) £1 Internal Mr. Smith Likely to be either Mr Smith the officekeeper (p. 130) or Mr Smith the dresser (p. 131), described in BD vol. 14. However, there are issues with both: BD states that the officekeeper finished working at Drury Lane in 1800, and the dresser was only paid 9s. per week in 1801, whereas the recipient here worked in the 1802-03 season at £ 10s. per week. Perhaps the term "new engagement" used in the first payment to him (6 November 1802) suggests that it was the old officekeeper, who had left in 1800 but returned. Or perhaps neither identification is correct, and this was a different Smith.
