Clothing Material (Decorations) £1 9s Unknown By Mr Scot Faetherman [?] [per] bill Scott was listed as a "Feather Man" in the company list at the start of the 1760-61 season's account book, apparently paid a salary to procure and/or maintain feathers at that time, but it is unclear whether the bills paid him for earlier and later seasons also represented payments to an employee, or whether he was being reimbursed for feathers bought externally, or whether he himself worked externally in some or all of those seasons (as BD vol. 13, p. 239 suggests for the 1766-67 season).
Hair, Beards and Wigs £2 2s 8d Internal By Barber 8 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 8s 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.
