Actors £1 10s Internal Mrs. Horton
Actors £1 Internal Mr. Cibber All daily £1 payments to Cibber from 26 December 1740 until 20 April 1741 (after which the account book abruptly ends) lack the tick sign and marginal "pd" note written besides almost all other payments this season. Perhaps his payment arrangements changed on 26 December.
Actors 6s 8d Internal Mr Bridgwater
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 2s 6d Internal Corbett
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.
Security 2s Internal Constable
Singers 10s 6d Internal Mrs. Wright
Singers £4 Internal Mr. E. Roberts, in full for his performance this Season to Jany. 5 inclusive

Miscellaneous £29 3s 8d 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.

Royal Attendants £1 1s External The Prince of Wale's Do. [Chairmen] by Mr. Watts
