Clothing Material (Lace) £9 12s External To Mr Cartony [?] for 12 Yds: Silver Lace Possibly an attempt to write "Caustin", from whom old lace was bought on 15 January, but the spelling looks very different.
Carpentry and Sceneshifting £1 10s Internal To 4 Const: Super & a Cand: Man 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".
