Actors £21 13s 4d Internal Mrs. Pritchard in full for her Performce. this Season
Cleaners £1 18s 6d Internal Charwomen 3 Days
Dancers £10 10s Internal Mr. Granier in full for his Children's Performce.
Dancers 10s Internal Lucas a week's Sallary
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 8s Internal Cundell Do [4 days]
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 5s 4d Internal Tubman 4 days
Employees (Other) 8s Internal Osborne 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 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 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) 6s Internal Rabbitt Do [4 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.
Performers (Other) £55 14s 10d 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 4s Internal Potter 2 days
Treasurers 13s 4d Internal Mr. Pritchard 2 days
Treasurers 13s 4d Internal White Do [4 days]

Benefit Payments £10 Internal Mrs. Pritchard being overcharg'd for her benefit
Miscellaneous £16 7s 6d External Mr Fairchild in full Mr Fairchild was a coachmaker, but it is unclear whether the coaches were for use on or off the stage.
Miscellaneous £29 10s 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.
Unknown £10 10s Unknown Mr. Harrington on acct Perhaps John Harrington, prompter, as salary and/or a prompter's bill.
