Thus he is here understood to have been a housekeeper.

Annuities £5 5s 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.
Funds and Trusts £1 13s 4d External Return'd into the Acct. at close of Season Payments so described were made regularly in the 1806-07 season, almost always for sums under £5. A note appears at the end of the account book: "Sundry Sums of Money on the Pay List unappropriated during the Season brought forward & Paid to the Account of the Trustees", beneath which, in another hand, is written, "What do these amount to", then a signature, "RW.". These payments thus seem similar to the regular "Unappropriated" payments of the following season, 1807-08.
