Employees (Other) 12s Internal By Mr. Conner a weeks Salary BD vol. 3, p. 440 notes a Mr. Connor at CG, but only 1742-50, and only suggests that he was some sort of house servant.
Musicians (Band) £4 Internal By Band of Musick
Hair, Beards and Wigs 10s 8d Internal By the Barber 2 Nights 5/4 Account book records around this time are inconsistent as to whether a "barber" or "barbers" were weekly paid; this season's alternative account book (BL Eg. 2270), and the majority of records in the 1758-59 account book, specify "Barbers". It seems likely that CG's main barber, Mr Horsfall (Hursfall in BD vol. 8, p. 57), was paid money to distribute to other barbers.

Unknown 10s 3d Unknown By Do. [Austin] for Incidents [per] bill Austin was paid a weekly bill, probably for painting room supplies. However, only the record of 12 November 1757 specifies a "bill for Colours", and Austin began to be paid for candle-snuffing duties from the 1759-60 season onwards, so most of his bill payments cannot be confidently categorised.
