Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 5s 4d Internal Tubman Do [4 Day's]
Employees (Other) 8s Internal Osborne Do [4 Day's] 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 Internal Perry Do [4 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) 8s Internal Jarvis Do [4 Day's] 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) 6s Internal Rabbitt Do [4 Day's] 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 week's Sallary Mr Page, identified as a housekeeper in the 1740-41 account book.
Performers (Other) £106 8d 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 8s Internal Potter Do [4 Day's]
Treasurers £1 6s 8d Internal Mr. Pritchard 4 Days
Treasurers 13s 4d Internal White 4 Day's
Dressers £3 8s Internal Women Dressers 4 Days
Tailoring 16s Internal Hamersly Do [4 Days]
Management £21 Internal Mr. Rich
Miscellaneous £36 18s 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.
