Employees (Other) £300 5s Internal Sallies. Pence figure unclear, hence left blank here.
Carpentry and Sceneshifting £1 11s Internal To 4 Const Super & a Candle Man &C Pence figure unclear, hence left blank here. John Powel explains this recurrent DL payment in Tit for Tat (Houghton THE GEN TS 1574.316), p. 34, referring specifically to the 1747-49 seasons: "Four constant Supernumerary Scene-men to assist the Scene-men belonging to the House, and a Candle-Man, that see's all the Candles put out after the Play is over, at One Shilling each". Because the candleman was only a small part of the bundle, and was apparently considered to be close enough to the scenemen to be grouped with them, these payments have been categorised as "Carpentry and Sceneshifting".

Mackbeth, the Tempest &c. which have a Shilling each".
