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.

Miscellaneous £28 12s 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.
Unknown £6 6s Unknown Mr. Grainger in part of a Bill of 13: 4: 3: 1/2 A Mr Grainger was paid bills or "on acct." regularly in 1740-41. Perhaps he was the Lincoln's Inn Fields tailor, noted by BD vol. 6, pp. 300-01 as fl. 1724-29.
