Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Performers (Other) 15s Internal By Mr Robinson for working the Ostridge 6 Nts.
Musicians (Band) £4 18s 4d Internal By Band of Musick
Wardrobe (Other) £2 12s 1d Departmental By Wardrobe bill
Wardrobe (Other) £1 6s Departmental By Mrs. S. White [per] bill Distinguishing the Whites and what they were paid for is not always straightforward: Susannah White made several large loans to Rich over the years, but also worked for CG's wardrobe, and various of her family members worked for the theatre in various capacities. For more on Susannah White, see Terry Jenkins, John Rich: The Man Who Built Covent Garden Theatre (2016), pp. 209, 240-41, 251; and for Catherine White, see BD vol. 16, p. 34. It seems likeliest that this payment was for a wardrobe-related bill.
