Musicians (Band) £5 Internal By Band of Musick
Hair, Beards and Wigs 10s 8d Internal By Barber 2 Nights 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.
Wardrobe (Other) £1 Departmental By R. Martin for Wardrobe [per] bill

Management £21 Internal By Mrs. [?] J. Rich 4 Nights
Management £4 Internal By Mr C. Rich 4 Nts.
Unknown £1 5s 4d Unknown By Do. [Mr. Austin] for Incidents 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.
Unknown 10s Unknown By Mr. Rich Mr. Brownsmith give him
