Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Cleaners £3 14s Internal Chairwomen Do. [6 days]
Dancers 15s Internal Mrs. La Font for her performance 3 nights in ye Rape
Dancers 10s Internal Lucas a wekk's Sallary
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 12s Internal Cundell Do. [6 days]
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 10s Internal Carny Do. [6 days]
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 8s Internal Tubman 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 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.
House Servants (Other) 12s Internal Jarvis 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 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 Page a Weeks Sallary Mr Page, identified as a housekeeper in the 1740-41 account book.
Performers (Other) £146 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.
Security 12s Internal Potter Do. [6 days]
Supernumeraries £1 8s Internal Green Supernumary man a Bill of Arrears
Treasurers £2 Internal Mr. Pritchard 6 Days
Treasurers £1 Internal White Do. [6 Days]

Tailoring £5 5s Departmental Meares Taylor on acct.
Tailoring £1 4s Internal Hamersly Do. [6 Days]
Management £31 10s Internal Mr. Rich
Miscellaneous £35 12s 3d 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.
