Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
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 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.

Management 16s 8d Internal Mr. C. Rich
Proprietorial (Other) £8 8s External Mr. J. Rich
Proprietorial (Other) £26 External Do [Mr. J. Rich]
Miscellaneous £35 7s 6d 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's entire door receipts, £35 7s 6d (which fell short of the £50 charge on the beneficiary), were diverted to cover the nightly house charge.
Total £76 8s 4d
