Unknown 1s 6d Unknown To Mrs Swift omitted Wednesday On Tuesday (17 April) a Mrs Swift had been paid for "a Suit of Womens Cloths". Perhaps she was here being paid for clothes too, or perhaps for something else, such as performing as a supernumerary.
Unknown 1s Unknown To Mrs Roberts Omitted Wednesdy BD vol. 13, p. 4 speculates that this was an actress named Mrs Roberts. But it is uncertain, and incorrectly values the payment at £1, whereas the sum in fact paid, 1s, seems less likely for a performer. Moreover, there was a payment this day "To Mrs Swift omitted Wednesday", and on Tuesday (17 April) a Mrs Swift had been paid for "a Suit of Womens Cloths". Perhaps neither of the omitted women were theatrical employees; perhaps they had performed as supernumeraries.
