Miscellaneous £29 6s 11d 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. Pence figure is in fact 11.5, but the half pence has not been here recorded.
Travel and Accommodation £3 3s External Do. [Mr Jno. Rich] by F. Cook late Coach man
Unknown £1 Unknown Mr Armstrong for Night Work
Loan Repayments (as Debtor) £20 External Mr Bosvil in part of a Note of £40 Interpreted here as repayment of a loan, though perhaps it was in fact more like this season's later payments to Mr Bosvil, "by a Note of hand Endors'd by him and paid to" someone else. In the 1746-47 season, "Mr. Bosvile (Mercer)" was paid numerous times, so perhaps the 1740-41 transactions were also related to fabrics.
Total £63 3s 3d
