Housekeeping £1 6s 8d Internal Mr. Millington Payment date written in account book is 24 December, apparently in error. Millington does not appear in BD, but the list of 1807 Drury Lane engagements (Folger W. b. 82) calls him the superintendant of stores, and the account books record occasional payments to him for miscellaneous objects and materials. Thus he is here understood to have been a housekeeper.

Singers £1 6s 8d Internal Miss Feron Payment date written in account book is 24 December, apparently in error. Categorised as "Dancers" on the basis that, on at least one occasion (26 March 1808), the account books listed her under "Women Dancers". However, she may in fact have been Elizabeth Fearon, who was born sometime between 1795 and 1799, apparently performed as a juvenile at Drury Lane, and later became a successful singer; in which case perhaps she was more usually singing or acting in child parts at this stage. The term "Women" in "Women Dancers" suggests that it cannot have been a juvenile Elizabeth, but it may have been a scribal error or carelessness that put her under that heading.

Annuities £4 4s External Mr. Lacey Payment date written in account book is 24 December, apparently in error. 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.
