Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Actors £42 Internal Mr Quin on acct
Miscellaneous £36 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.
Dancers £5 12s Internal Mr Cooke the Ballance of his acct Presumably linked to an earlier payment this season, "Mr. Cooke on acct.", £10 10s, the recipient of which BD vol. 3, p. 472 identifies as Philip Cooke, dancer. But it notes that "he seems not to have performed" at CG this season. Perhaps he was being paid arrears, or for some occasional guest performances or other services.
