Management £31 10s Internal By Mr. Rich to 6th. instant 6 Nights Normally "Mrs. Rich" was specified for these salary payments this season, but the title is clearly "Mr." on this occasion.
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.
