Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Actors £34 4s Internal Mr. Cibber, Senr. for his performance last night (his moiety of the mony then taken) as pr Recet.
Actors £1 5s Internal Mr. Ryan
Actors £1 10s Internal Mr. Delane
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
Actors £1 1s Internal Mr. J. Rich by Mrs. Stevens Presumably a payment to Priscilla Stevens, later Rich's wife, although perhaps she was collecting the money for Rich.
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 2s 6d Internal Corbett
Security 2s Internal Constable
Clothing Material (Other) 6s External for 4 yds. of strip'd Dimatty for a Waistcoat for mrs. Woffington
Management 16s 8d Internal Mr. C. Rich
Leases (Ground and Buildings) £15 External Do. [Mr. J. Rich] by Mr. Smith, a Quarter's Rent for Blomsy: due at Xms.
Miscellaneous £55 11s 10d 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. This night was a benefit night. Presumably the money diverted went to the beneficiary and the standard nightly charge.
Total £112 15s 8d
