| 03 Dec 1757 | Covent Garden | £1 1s | By John Rich Esqr. [per] Rect. | |
| 16 Dec 1757 | Covent Garden | £1 1s | By Jno. Rich Esqr. [per] Receipt | |
| 23 Dec 1757 | Covent Garden | £1 1s | By Mr. Jno. Rich | |
| 31 Dec 1757 | Covent Garden | £20 | By Mr. Rich paid Mr. Gom [per] Receipt | The alternative account book for this season (BL Eg. 2270) specifies that this was "for Gom at Uxbridge". Presumed to be for construction work at John Rich's house, Cowley Grove, rather than for theatre-related carpentry. For more on the Gom family, and suggestions as to their working relationship with CG, see Terry Jenkins, John Rich: The Man Who Built Covent Garden Theatre (2016), pp. 118-19. |
| 28 Apr 1758 | Covent Garden | £10 10s | By Jno. Rich paid Miss C. Rich | A marginal note reads, "wanting", with what may be a tick and a full stop before it. Perhaps a payment to one of John Rich's daughters, though what she would have been paid for is unclear. |
| 16 May 1758 | Covent Garden | £1 1s | By Jno. Rich Esqr. | |
| 06 Dec 1758 | Covent Garden | £1 1s | By Mr. Rich for Mrs. Charke | The reason for, and recipient of, this payment are unclear. BD vol. 3, pp. 176-78 does not show Charlotte Charke having any engagement at CG at this time. |
| 12 Dec 1758 | Covent Garden | £28 5s | By Jno. Rich Esqr. paid Mr. Forrest for Principal, Interest & Cost on a Bond Mr. Rich and Mr. Saml. Howard Baild for Doctor Thompson | The wording is not entirely clear without further context, but it seems that John Rich and one Samuel Howard stood bail for one Dr Thompson. |
| 29 Jan 1759 | Covent Garden | £31 10s | By Mr. Rich to 6th. instant 6 Nights | Normally "Mrs. Rich" was specified for these salary payments this season, but the title is clearly "Mr." on this occasion. |
