Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Performers (Other) £207 18s 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.
Miscellaneous £33 19s 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.
Management £31 10s Internal Mr. Rich on acct.
Tailoring £4 4s Departmental Meares (Taylor) on acct.
Dressers £4 13s Internal Women Dressers Do. [6 Days]
Cleaners £3 14s Internal Chairwomen Do. [6 Days]
Treasurers £2 Internal Mr. Pritchard 6 Days
Housekeeping £1 Internal Mr. Page a week's Sallary
Tailoring £1 4s Internal Hamersly Do [6 Days]
Treasurers £1 Internal White Do [6 Days]
House Servants (Other) £1 10s Internal Perry Do. [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.
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.
Security 12s Internal Potter Do [6 Days]
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 10s Internal Carny Do. [6 Days]
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.
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) 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.
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 12s Internal Cundell Do. [6 Days]
Dancers 10s Internal Lucas Do [a week's Sallary]
Total £296 18s 8d
