Clothing Purchase (Other) £4 4s External Mrs Shelton for a Dancing Bitch & Dress Presumably "Dancing Bitch" refers to some type of clothing, but it does not appear to have been a standard term. Perhaps it was a miswriting of "breeches".

Proprietorial (Other) £1 1s External Mr J. Rich
Miscellaneous £28 5s 5d Departmental [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.
