Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Miscellaneous £12 6d Departmental Advanc'd to pay the Nightly Charge The door receipts of this night did not suffice to pay the nightly charge, the settlement of which was not recorded in this season's surviving account book.
Miscellaneous £15 16s 6d 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. This night's entire door receipts, £15 16s 6d, were diverted to cover the nightly charge.
Loan Repayments (as Debtor) £50 External Mr. Bridgwater in part of his Bond CG paid a Mr Bridgwater two times in 1746-47, and once in 1749-50, on a "Bond", £50 each time. But it also paid him £49 9s for "a Bill for Coals" in 1746-47. It is therefore possible that CG bought coals from him and signed bonds to pay him at (a) later stage(s), and that the relevant payments were therefore ultimately for coal.
Total £77 17s
