Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Miscellaneous £28 6s 6d 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.
Construction £12 2s External Do [Mr. J. Rich] by Mr. Gum Carpenter of Uxbridge in full 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.
Employees (Other) £5 5s Internal Mr. J. Rich by mrs Holms CG paid Mrs Holm(e)s fairly often throughout the 1740-41 season, almost always as "Mr. J. 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.
