Clothing Purchase (Other) 7s External By Do. [Mrs. Griffith] for a Crown & Garter King Lear
Hair, Beards and Wigs £1 1s 4d Internal By Barber 4 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.

Unknown 7s 6d Unknown By Mr. Austin [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.
Musicians (French Horns) 5s Internal By a French horn
