Hair, Beards and Wigs £1 12s Internal By Barber 6 Nights Account book records around this time are inconsistent as to whether a "barber" or "barbers" were weekly paid. 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 4d Unknown By Do. [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.
