Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Actors £1 Internal Mr Quin in full for his Performance this Season
Cleaners £3 4s 2d Internal Charwomen Do [5 days]
Dancers 6s 8d Internal Mr. Desse for one Day last Week
Dancers 10s Internal Lucas a week's Sallary
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 6s 8d Internal Tubman Do. [5 days]
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 10s Internal Cundell Do [5 days]
Employees (Other) 10s Internal Osborne Do [5 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) 7s 6d Internal Rabbitt Do [5 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) 10s Internal Jarvis Do [5 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 5s Internal Perry Do [5 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) £87 9s 6d 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 10s Internal Potter Do [5 days]
Treasurers 16s 8d Internal White Do. [5 days]
Treasurers £1 13s 4d Internal Pritchard 5 days
Dressers £4 5s Internal Women Dressers Do [5 days]
Tailoring £1 Internal Hamersly Do [5 days]
Upholstery £20 External Mr. Heasman Upholsterer on acct
Management £26 5s Internal Mr. Rich
Proprietorial (Other) £10 10s External Mr. J Rich on acct.
Benefit Payments £42 14s Internal Mrs Hale the Ready Mony taken ye 5th instant at her benefit
Miscellaneous £28 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 £231 13s 6d
