Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Clothing Material (Other) £6 1s 6d External Mr. Hamersly as pr. Bill for Velvet &c
Wardrobe (Other) £5 Departmental Mrs S White on acctt 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 for a wardrobe-related bill.
Proprietorial (Other) £21 External Mr. J Rich on acctt
Miscellaneous £37 11s 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.
