Unknown 6s 6d Unknown By Ditto [Austin] a Bill Austin was paid a weekly bill, probably for painting room supplies. However, only the record of 12 November 1757 specifies "a Bill for Collours &ca.", 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.
