Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Clothing Material (Decorations) 2s External Do. [Mrs. Goold Bot.] Beads for a Cap for Mrs. Pritchard
Clothing Material (Lace) 9s External Do. [Mrs. Goold Bot.] 10 yds. of Lace for a Ruff for Mr Quin
Clothing Material (Other) £2 2s External Mrs. Goold Bot. 8 1/2 yds. of Gauze for a Dress for Campioni
Mantuamaking £5 5s Departmental Mrs. White (Mantua Maker) on acct. Distinguishing the Whites and what they were paid for is not always straightforward: Susannah White made several large loans to Rich over the years, but also worked for CG's wardrobe, and various of her family members worked for the theatre in various capacities. For more on Susannah White, see Terry Jenkins, John Rich: The Man Who Built Covent Garden Theatre (2016), pp. 209, 240-41, 251; and for Catherine White, see BD vol. 16, p. 34. It seems likeliest that this payment was to Susannah or Catherine White for inhouse mantuamaking.
Stone £20 External Mr. Stephens (Mason) on acct
Proprietorial (Other) £5 7s 6d External Mr. Rich on acct.
Miscellaneous 1s External Do. [Mrs. Goold Bot.] a Fann for Lad Do. [for Mr Quin]
Miscellaneous £34 12s 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 £7 13s 6d Unknown Mr. Robt. Scott a Bill Perhaps Mr Scott the copper laceman paid at other times in 1746-47, and perhaps related to the "Mr Hewson Scott Copper Laceman" named in payment records of the 1757-58 season.
Total £75 12s
