Employees (Other) £4 Internal By Mr. Banks 48 Nights Attendce. to the 25 Novr: last inclusive @ 1/8. Recipient unknown. The salary and usage of the word "Attendce." suggests he was a doorkeeper or officekeeper, but a John Banks was paid "for Bill setters" in the 1757-58 season.
House Servants (Other) 10s Internal By Mr Luke Clerke from the 27th. Novr: last inclusive for 6 Nts. Salay, to this day Presumably the house servant, Mr Clarke, whom BD vol. 3, p. 301 observes flourishing 1760-62 and being paid 10s per week in the 1761-62 season. The BD editors do not seem to have known of the 1758-59 account book.
House Servants (Other) £24 3s Internal By Servants 6 Nights Do. [Salary]
Performers (Other) £217 11s Internal By Performers 6 Nights Salary
Security £4 4s Internal By Guards 6 Nights
Musicians (Band) £4 16s 8d Internal By Band of Musick
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.
Wardrobe (Other) £1 Departmental By Wardrobe bill
Carpentry and Sceneshifting £10 5s 8d Departmental By Mr Powell for Carpenters to this day
Properties 2s Departmental By Properties
Scene Painters £1 Internal By Mr. Dall on Accot. of Salary
Scene Painters 12s Internal By Mr. Austin 6 days Salary
Bill Distribution £3 9s Internal By Bill Setters [per] bill
Management £6 Internal By Mr C. Rich 6 Nights
Uncategorised £1 4s 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.
