Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Miscellaneous £28 10s 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, £28 10s, were diverted to cover the nightly house charge.
