Employees (Other) 12s Internal Osborne Do [6 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) £1 10s Internal Mr Perry 6 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.
House Servants (Other) 12s Internal Jarvis Do [6 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) 12s Internal Driscol Do [6 days]
House Servants (Other) 10s Internal Smith Do [6 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) 10s Internal Browse Do [6 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) 10s Internal Bayley Do [6 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.
Performers (Other) £124 12s 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.
