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 that and the following season probably went to him too. |

It seems that the payment amount should have been 10s 6d, but the scribe misattributed the 6d to the other entry recorded on this line, "F. Horn", thus pricing the French horn at 6d above its normal cost. But the putative error has been retained here, in fidelity to the account book. |

The scribe seems to have attributed 6d to the French horn by mistake; it probably should have been attributed to the other entry recorded on this line, "Boy & Girls Attendance in ye Opera" (recorded at 10s only), which would have left the French horn at its normal cost of 5s only. But the putative error has been retained here, in fidelity to the account book. |
