Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
House Servants (Other) £39 5s Internal Mr. Perry by 2 Notes Endorsd by him 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. This payment is interpreted as his salary, paid in the form of notes of hand, which he endorsed, then deposited or used to pay a third party, who cashed them with CG.
Scene Painters £10 10s Internal Mr. Servandoni
Scene Painters £1 1s Internal Mr Laguerre on acct. for Painting
Upkeep and Refurbishments (Other) £2 19s 9d Departmental Mr. Price a Bill for Carpenter's Work done at Lincolns inn Fields Theatre last week BD vol. 12, p. 155 does not give much information on Mr Price. But expense records 1746-47 suggest that he oversaw carpentry, painting, and general building work that season, partly or exclusively at Lincoln's Inn Fields. As such, these payments probably did not relate to scenes or machines, hence their categorisation here.
Proprietorial (Other) £6 16s External Mr. J Rich on acct
Miscellaneous £36 6s 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.
Total £96 17s 9d
