Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Actors 5s Internal Miss Mullart Enter'd from Saturday last at 5s pr. Week
Cleaners £3 14s Internal Chairwomen Do. [6 Days]
Dancers 10s Internal Lucas a week's Sallary
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 12s Internal Cundell Do. [6 Days]
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 10s Internal Carny Do. [6 Days]
Employees (Other) 12s Internal Osborne Do. [6 Days] Perhaps the dancer of that name, described in BD vol. 11, p. 120. This Osborne was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such.
House Servants (Other) £1 10s Internal Mr. Perry 6 Days Perry was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Perry was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 12s Internal Jarvis Do. [6 Days] BD vol. 8, p. 139 suggests Jarvis was a housekeeper and pit officekeeper, and this may have been his salary in only one of those capacities.
House Servants (Other) 9s Internal Bethune Do. [6 Days] BD vol. 2, p. 72 designates the recipient as "house servant?", but speculates he may have been Mr Bethun the dancer, who had been active in the 1730s. Bethune was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Bethune was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 9s Internal Rabbitt Do. [6 Days] Rabbitt was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Rabbitt was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
Housekeeping £1 Internal Mr. Page a weeks Sallary
Performers (Other) £165 13s Internal [performers' payroll entries here aggregated] This payroll seems to have included a few people who were not performers, but most of them were. Moreover, the payment record of 10 May 1750 (in the 1749-50 account book, which followed the same format as 1746-1747) shows that it was conceived as the performers' list; and even the non-performers were perhaps more related to performance than most house servants were, such as John Stede the prompter.
Security 12s Internal Potter Do. [6 Days]
Treasurers £1 Internal White Do [6 Days]
Treasurers £2 Internal Mr. Pritchard Enter'd from Do. [Saturday last] at 40s pr. Week
Clothing Purchase (Other) £8 1s External Mr. Hamersley for a Black Velvet Suit of Women's Cloaths For Mrs. Cibber
Dressers £4 13s Internal Women Dressers Do. [6 Days]
Tailoring £1 4s Internal Hamersley Do. [6 Days]
Tailoring £4 4s Departmental Meares (Taylor) on acct.
Miscellaneous £34 8d 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 from this night's performance receipts or benefit charge, as appropriate.
Loans Made (as Creditor) £6 6s Internal Mr. Stede as pr. Note of hand
Total £237 16s 8d
