Acot 8.6.1805 at Jo(seph) G(odwin)'s

Godwin's brother Joseph was at one time a carpet salesman and Godwin had met John Smith of 13 Primrose St (qv) auctioneer and appraiser at his brother's. So this could well have been Christopher Acott appraiser 80 Barbican (Holdens 1807) apprenticed to Roger Tuff citizen & founder 1803, as son of William Acott carpenter & broker Southgate Middlesex (Sun Fire 1792). The only other Acott I found among London tradesmen of the time was Thomas Acott shoemaker 164 Oxford St (Sun Fire 1792)

call on Lord Mayor 1.6.1805 / 20.6.1805 again / 10.7.1817 again

In Godwin's letter to James Wollstonecraft of 5.9.1805 (Bodleian Abinger c9 f34v) he wrote "Ball I have got rid of by the intervention of the Lord Mayor". Ball (qv) was a tenant of Primrose Street and Godwin saw him on 23.1.1805 and 1,2,1805, both before James Wollstonecraft last saw Godwin before leaving for the West Indies. The Lord Mayor of London in 1804/5 was Peter Perchard, it's not clear if Godwin would have spoken to him personally. The Lord Mayor in 1816/7 was Matthew Wood.
