In Godwin's 1796 list for 1778, in 1794 version added in small letters along with Lister 

Richard Corrie Esq of Ware Hertfordshire subscribed to dissenting publications in 1774, 1777 & 1779. Godwin's first attempt at ministry was at Ware in 1778.

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1787, also in 1794 version / 5.9.1810 dine at Aldis's, w. Corry

Isaac Corry (Dictionary of Irish Biography 1753-1813) called to bar 1779, MP for Newry, took government office from 1787. He could have been the 1810 diner at Aldis's, he was no longer an MP after 1807 and according to History of Parliament online he died in reduced circumstances in 1813, but he was still listed in the court section of Holdens directory 1811 at Kensington-gore. Equally it could have been Thomas Charles Stewart Corry MP for co. Monaghan whose London address was 3 Gt Cumberland-…

call on Cosway 20.3.1802

There were few people of this surname in London so it is reasonable to suppose that this was Richard Cosway DNB 1742-1821 artist but it was a one-off appearance in Godwin's diary

sleep at Snaresbrook: meet Chalmers & Cotham 27.8.1799 / 16.9.1812 capt Cotham

It may be significant that Godwin slept at Snaresbrook (presumably at the inn) where he slept again on 21.12.1801 after marrying Mary Jane Vial. He had called on Sarah Elwes earlier that day and was possibly still in her company, though he called on her again the next day. Otherwise no information about Cotham

miss Coutts 16.5.1805 at Wake's

All three daughters of Thomas Coutts DNB 1735-1822 banker were married by 1800, I don't think he had any sisters. His brother James Hist of Parl 1733-1778 left one survivng daughter but I have discovered nothing more about her. PCC wills Patrick C 1808 (brother of Thomas DNB) Alexander Coutts merchant Princes St London 1804 / William C Harewood House, Yorks 1814 /  John C printer Cornhaill 1825 / Ann C spinster of Kensington 1855 mentioned uncle George C of Wellington Somerset (his will PCC 1852)

Coventry 25.1.1798 adv at theatre / 19.4.1816 Coventry at Boswell's (Edinburgh)

The first entry could be George William 6th Earl of Coventry 1722-1809. The second one maybe Robert Coventry teller of Bank Of Scotland died 1827, or his brother Andrew died 1838 whose children Rev George 1792.-1872 minister of St George's chapel York Place Edinburgh and Andrew advocate 1801-1877 are also possibles though the latter was probably too young
