Porteus 15.3.1797 at Robert Knight's / 14.5.1809 Porteus dies
For the 1797 entry GD website transcript has Portens, original looks more like Portens than Porteus but I cannot trace any instances of that surname. The 1809 entry was certainly Beilby Porteus DNB 1731-1809 Bishop of London.
Harry 15.3.1797 at Robert Knight's
Although Harry can be a surname ( 1790 H Harry bookseller and dealer in curiosities 379 Strand / 1784 Dr John Harry Bodmin Cornwall) in this case it may refer to Robert Knight's younger brother Henry Raleigh Knight his will PCC 1836 Lt Genl of Portman St Portman Sq. He married at St Geo Han Sq 1.12.1808 Juliana Botti who d 1859 age 79 their son Charles Raleigh Knight married in 1856, their eldest dau Juliana born 1811 married 1840 died at Rome 1854, their youngest dau Caroline Emily married in 1850.

The mrs Carter who died 19.2.1806 was Elizabeth Carter DNB 1717-1806 and perhaps too respectable a "bluestocking" to have been a guest at John King's
