Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Miscellaneous £27 13s 2d 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.
Dancers £21 Internal Signora. Domatilla, by Mr. J. Rich, in part of sixty Guineas
Clothing Material (Decorations) £10 External Mr. Johyns, Embroiderer on acct.
Actors £5 5s Internal Mr. J. Rich, by Mrs. Stevens for H. H. [?] Presumably a payment to Priscilla Stevens, later Rich's wife, although perhaps she was collecting the money for Rich.
Royal Attendants £2 2s External The King's footmen by Mr. Ross
Actors £1 5s Internal Mr. Ryan
Actors £1 10s Internal Mrs. Horton

Perhaps his payment arrangements changed on 26 December.
