Employees (Other) £1 6d Internal By Chorus Singers &ca. [per] List
House Servants (Other) £20 14s 6d Internal By Servants Salarys 5 Nts. [per] List
Housekeeping 17s 6d Departmental By Mr. Crudge for Incidents [per] bill
Performers (Other) £191 8s 4d Internal By Performer Salarys [per] List A note has been written at a right angle to this day's expense entries, "Mr. Frith to 21st. inst, inclusive". Frith does not seem to be included in BD, but was evidently a CG performer of some type. He appears in the male performer section of the payroll in this season's alternative account book (BL Eg. 2270), but only up to 22 October (this date), suggesting that the reason for this note (which does not appear in the alternative account book) is that he was discharged at this time.
Security £3 10s Internal By Guards 5 Nights
Musical Services and Supplies (Other) £10 10s External By Mr. Savage in full for Teachg. Mr. Frith Musc. Frith does not seem to be included in BD, but was evidently a CG performer of some type, as he appears in the male performer section of the payroll in this season's alternative account book (BL Eg. 2270). "Mr. Savage" must be William Savage, the singer, musician and music teacher.
Musicians (Band) £5 Internal By Band of Musick
Hair, Beards and Wigs £1 6s 8d Internal By Barber 5 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.
