Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Actors £175 Internal Mr. Garrick in full for his Performce. this Season
Cleaners £3 17s Internal Charwomen Do. [6 Days]
Dancers 10s Internal Mr Joseph Granier 2 days
Dancers 15s Internal Mrs La Font 3 days
Dancers 10s Internal Lucas a week's Sallary
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 12s Internal Cundell Do. [6 Days]
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 8s Internal Tubman Do. [6 Days]
Employees (Other) 12s Internal Osborne Do. [6 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) 9s Internal Rabbitt Do [6 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.
House Servants (Other) 12s Internal Jarvis Do. [6 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) £1 10s Internal Perry Do. [6 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.
Performers (Other) £121 7s 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 12s Internal Potter Do [6 Days]
Treasurers £1 Internal White Do. [6 Days]
Treasurers £2 Internal Mr Pritchard 6 Days
Dressers £5 2s Internal Women Dressers Do [6 Days]
Tailoring £1 4s Internal Hamersly Do [6 Days]
Upkeep and Refurbishments (Other) 12s 6d Departmental Mr. Price a Bill for Carpenters Work done at L. F. Theatre 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.
Management £31 10s Internal Mr. Rich
Proprietorial (Other) £10 10s External Mr. J Rich on acct.
Miscellaneous £28 4s 5d 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 £386 16s 11d
