| 06 Nov 1740 | Covent Garden | £34 13s | Mr J. Rich by a Note of hand to Mr T. Cibber | A marginal note reads, "postd. to Cibber". There were two payments in 1740-41 mentioning Theophilus Cibber and notes of hand, which have here been interpreted as payments of his acting salary, made in the form of promissory notes that he endorsed, then deposited with or used to pay a third party, who then cashed them with John Rich (here) or CG (4 December 1740). |

Rich by Mrs. Holms", always 5 guineas except for her final payment, which was "in full for Wages". But she is not in BD and her role is unclear. |
