Employees (Other) £3 17s 6d Internal Chorus singers &ca. as [per] List
Lamplighters £1 12s 3d Internal Lamps BD vol. 8, p. 408 states that the last mention of Mr Kemp, lampman, was on 28 May 1760, but he was also named thrice in the 1760-61 expenditure records for lamplighting, and the regular £1 12s 3d payments for "Lamps" in this and the following season probably went to him too.

Wardrobe (Other) £3 11s Departmental Mr. [?] L. Gwynn a Bill BD vol. 6, pp. 454-55 describes William Gwinn and his son, Mr Gwinn, working as officekeepers and doorkeepers at CG, and William's wife/widow, Lucy Gwinn, running a silk dyeing business and also working for CG's wardrobe in some capacity. Yet CG paid a Mr Gwinn numerous times 1746-50, after William's death, "on acct.", and once for "the ballance of his Bill for Dying &c". It therefore seems that William and Lucy's son was involved in dyeing and other clothes-related work. Perhaps the recipient here was that same son, still involved in the business years later, but it may have been Lucy, who had been paid "for Cleaning silks &ca." as recently as 8 December 1759; there is the hint of an "s" at the end of "Mr".
Properties 11s Departmental Property Bill
