Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Actors £60 Internal Mr Hippisley as pr. 2 Notes Here interpreted as John Hippisley's acting salary, paid as promissory notes that he or a third party cashed in with CG.
Clothing Material (Wool) £100 External Mr. Wilson Woollen Draper on acct.
Proprietorial (Other) £12 12s External Mr. Rich on acct
Miscellaneous £34 16s 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.
Unknown £20 Unknown Mr. Wadley (Salesman) on acct On 27 December 1749, CG "Bot. of Wadley 3 Black Coats & a Waistcoat", so perhaps the "Salesman" here was paid for clothes too.
Total £227 8s
