To Mr Cibber by mr J. Rich at ye Bedford Coffee House |
When payment records mention John Rich and connect him to someone else using the word "by", they normally place Rich's name first, and seem to mean that Rich was paid money to pass on, or that he already had paid out of his own pocket, to the second person; here, although the order of the names is the other way round, the same meaning has been inferred. Payment date may be 18, but 19 September seems likelier. |

To mr Michell on acct. for his Childn. |
BD vol. 10, pp. 211-12 suggests that payments to Monsieur (François) Michel in 1740-41 were for his children's dancing (as indicated in a payment record of 19 September 1740). Payment date may be 18, but 19 September seems likelier. |

[nightly charge] |
This season's account book does not record or itemise the nightly charges, but it is evident that they were diverted from the nightly receipts. The sums are here calculated by deducting the money received into the treasury via Mr Wood from this night's performance receipts or benefit charge, as appropriate. |
