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 All daily 6s 8d payments to Bridgwater from 9 March 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 9 March.

Singers £1 1s Internal Mrs. Wright
Singers 10s 6d Internal Mrs. Chambers The four 10s 6d payments to Chambers between 3 and 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 her payment arrangements changed on 3 April.
Management 16s 8d Internal Mr. C. Rich
Management £5 5s Internal Mr. J. Rich
Miscellaneous £8 18s 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 £100 Unknown Mr. Bosvil by a Note of hand Endors'd by him and paid to Mr. Colebrook, Banker Interpreted here as a payment due Mr Bosvil for goods/services, paid to him as a note, which he deposited with or used to pay Mr Colebrook, who then cashed it with CG. In the 1746-47 season, "Mr. Bosvile (Mercer)" was paid numerous times, so perhaps this transaction was also related to fabrics.
