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 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) 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) 12s Internal Driscol Do [6 days]
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) 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 Caratha the Turk 6th Week's Sallary
Performers (Other) £163 7s 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.
Treasurers £1 Internal White Do. [6 days]
Dressers £4 3s Internal Women Dressers Do. [6 days]
Tailoring £2 15s 6d Departmental Meares Taylor a Bill
Scene Painters £4 11d Internal Herring Painter Do [a Bill]
Miscellaneous £45 11s 3d Departmental By the Nightly Charge
Unknown £15 Unknown Mr Hoole on acct. BD vol. 7, p. 403, observing a Mr Hool active at CG in 1741 only, suggests him to have been "the head of a crew of stage carpenters or stagehands." The recipient here was paid much more money in 1749-50 than the recipient in 1740-41, "his men" were not mentioned this season, and his name was spelled differently, so perhaps it was a different person.
Total £275 14s 8d
