Mantuamaking £13 15s 6d Departmental Mrs White Mantua Maker Distinguishing the Whites and what they were paid for is not always straightforward: Susannah White made several large loans to Rich over the years, but also worked for CG's wardrobe, and various of her family members worked for the theatre in various capacities. For more on Susannah White, see Terry Jenkins, John Rich: The Man Who Built Covent Garden Theatre (2016), pp. 209, 240-41, 251; and for Catherine White, see BD vol. 16, p. 34. It seems likeliest that this payment was to Susannah or Catherine White for inhouse mantuamaking.
Miscellaneous £41 10s 5d Departmental By the Nightly Charge
Unknown £14 17s 6d Unknown Mr Samll. Stephens the ballance of his acct. Perhaps the actor Samuel Stephens, but the nature and sum of this payment slots neatly into payments made to a "Mr. Stephens (Mason)" in the 1746-47 season, who may also have been named Samuel.
