Cleaners £2 11s 4d Internal Charwomen Do [4 days]
Dancers £5 5s Internal Mr Granier on acct. Perhaps a payment to Mr Granier, senior, for more than one of his children's dancing.

Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 6s 8d Internal Evans S Do [4 days]
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 5s 4d Internal Tubman Do [4 days]

Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 6s 8d Internal Ross Do [4 days]
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers 6s 8d Internal Wilford Do [4 days]
Employees (Other) 8s Internal Osborne Do [4 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) 6s 8d Internal Browse Do [4 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) 6s 8d Internal Smith Do [4 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) 6s 8d Internal Bayley Do. [4 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) 8s Internal Driscol Do. [4 days]
House Servants (Other) 8s Internal Jarvis Do. [4 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 Internal Mr Perry 4 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 Weeks Sallary Mr Page, identified as a housekeeper in the 1740-41 account book.
Performers (Other) £124 14s 8d 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 13s 4d Internal White Do. [4 days]
Dressers £2 15s 4d Internal Women Dressers Do [4 days]
Carpentry and Sceneshifting £1 14s Departmental Price Carpenter Do. [a Bill]
