However, the Simonets were mostly a family of dancers, and payments to "Mr. Simonet" this season were made regularly, separate to payments to the band, so they cannot be confidently categorised.

Miscellaneous £5 10s 6d External License by Mr Wroughton the Second issued by the Lord Chamberlain A dedicated "Licenses" section at the end of this account book records this payment as "By License of the Lyceum". An earlier payment (24 March 1809), "Mr. Mash Licence", £5 10s, is reproduced in a dedicated "Opera House" section at the end of this account book as "Licence". Hence it appears that the license paid for on 24 March was for the right to perform at the opera house, that on 6 May to perform at the Lyceum, and neither was for specific dramatic pieces.
Unknown 12s Unknown Mrs. Linley's Money return'd by directions [?] A dedicated "Petty Incidents" section at the end of this account book records this payment as "Mrs. Linley return'd by Mr Wroughton". This may have been a similar payment to that made on 9 June 1801, also for 12s: "Mrs. Linley for an Order of hers which was charg'd at the Doors".
