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) 10s Internal Smith Do [6 Days] Smith 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 Smith was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
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) 10s Internal Bayley Do. [6 Days] Bayley 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 Bayley was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 10s Internal Browse Do. [6 Days] Browse 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 Browse was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 12s Internal Driscol Do [6 Days]
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 Mr. Perry 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.
Housekeeping £1 Internal Page a Week's Sallary Mr Page, identified as a housekeeper in the 1740-41 account book.
Performers (Other) £26 5s Internal Mr Carata the Turk 2d Week's Sallary LS vol. 4, p. 163 notes, "Mr Carata the Turk, 2nd Week's salary £26 5s. A Dancer on the slack rope. … Rich took him over in December [1749] and kept him on the payroll at £26 5s. weekly for thirteen weeks until 10 May 1750. His salary included pay for his equipment and apparently a small company of assistants, as the Account Book refers to him often as Carata the Turk & Co."
Performers (Other) £159 17s 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 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.
