Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Cleaners £2 15s 10d Internal Chairwomen Do [5 days]
Dancers 10s Internal Lucas a weeks Sallary
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 6s 8d Internal Tubman 5 days
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 10s Internal Cundell Do [5 days]
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 8s 4d Internal Carny Do. [5 days]
Employees (Other) 10s Internal Osborne Do [5 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 5s Internal Perry Do. [5 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) 10s Internal Jarvis 5 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) 7s 6d Internal Rabbitt Do. [5 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) £172 11s 6d 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 10s Internal Potter Do [5 days]
Treasurers £1 13s 4d Internal Mr. Pritchard 5 Days
Treasurers 16s 8d Internal White Do. [5 Days]
Dressers £4 5s Internal Women Dressers Do [5 days]
Tailoring £1 Internal Hamersly Do. [5 Days]
Tailoring £5 5s Departmental Meares Taylor on acct.
Scene Painters 2s Internal Mr. Laguerre on acct. for Painting
Glass £10 External Mrs. Hills (Glazier) on acct.
Management £26 5s Internal Mr. Rich
Charity 10s 6d External Pd. by Page for Mary Rudd's Subsistance
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.
