Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Employees (Other) 2s 6d Internal Osborne Perhaps the dancer of that name, described in BD vol. 11, p. 120.
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.
Musicians (Band) £4 19s 4d Internal Musick
Musicians (Kettle Drums) 5s Internal Willis CG paid Justice Willis 5s per night on multiple occasions, always (except here) specifying the kettle drum before 13 November 1761, then specifying the trumpet on that date (and adding him to the Coronation list in that capacity). Hence this, his first payment was probably for drumming.
