Housekeeping £1 6s 8d Internal [blank entry] Apparently a salary payment, corresponding to Mr Millington's salary and position in the payroll. The recipient continues to be paid but remains unnamed until the end of the season. 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. However, the engagement list also suggests that Millington's employment had terminated by the end of the season, so perhaps the payments to an unnamed recipient actually went to someone else who had taken over his role.

Carving and Gilding £25 External Mr. Frecker & Henderson Fret Work Kent's Directory (1803), p. 76, lists "Fricker & Henderson, Paper-hanging Warehouse". But Drury Lane paid them three times across March and April 1808, evidently for the same project, and the first record (this one) specifies "Fret Work".

Messengers and Porters 8s 6d Internal Appleby Listed under "Petty Incidents".
Annuities £4 4s 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.
