House Servants (Other) 15s Internal Potts
Housekeeping £2 Internal Mr. Millington 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.

Musicians (Trumpets) £2 5s Internal Wilmshurst Stage Trumpets Unclear in what sense the trumpets were "Stage Trumpets", or how a single individual could play trumpets (plural); perhaps he had multiple trumpets, each with its own qualities, and alternated between them.

Carpentry and Sceneshifting £58 3s 11d Departmental Carpenters
Fireworks 18s 6d External Hunt fireworks Listed under "Petty Incidents". The monetary figure assigned to this payment may be an error, as it is atypically low and, along with the other "Petty Incidents" payments, it does not add up to the total figure given for "Petty Incidents" on this date. But, if so, it is difficult to determine what the correct figure should be, as it may be that some of the other individual "Petty Incidents" figures, or its total figure, are wrong too.

Pottery £1 13s 10d External Rogers Earthenware Listed under "Petty Incidents".
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.
