Singers £1 5s Internal Miss Howells BD vol. 8, pp. 6-8, records two female singers named Howells active at this time. Neither of them matches up to the Miss Howells appearing in the 1805-06 Drury Lane account book at a £1 5s weekly salary: the first, "Miss Howells", flourished only 1798-1800; the second, Fanny Howells, did not perform at Drury Lane until 1816. However, BD expresses no knowledge of "Miss Howells's" post-1800 career. Moreover, a £1 5s weekly salary would be appropriate for a singer. It therefore seems fair to categorise the relevant payments as "Singers" and to suggest that the recipient may well have been Bd's 1798-1800 "Miss Howells".

Annuities £6 6s External Mr. Lacey 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.
