To Mr Calthorpe [per] Mr Pary 30 M 115 |
Between at least the 1745-46 and 1773-74 seasons, DL paid Mr Calthorpe £315 per year on the patent in some fashion. John Powel, in Tit for Tat (Houghton THE GEN TS 1574.316), p. 27 describes this payment as "A Perquisite payable out of the P[aten]t for the Year £315." It is possible he also describes it more fully on pp. 31-32, when he explains that the former proprietor, Charles Fleetwood, assigned DL to James Lacy in exchange for an annuity due himself, which was collected by "a Gentleman appointed to receive the same"; yet that annuity was first set at £500, then reduced to £300 when Garrick bought the theatre, rather than at £315. |

To 4 Const: Super & 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". |
