Paid Mr: Sarjant for 16 Wks: 2ds Salary for Chas: Smith to 17th: Instant |
Covent Garden employed a performer named Charles Smith. However, given that the recipient here was being paid by the housekeeper, Charles Sarjant, perhaps it was a different Charles Smith, or perhaps, due to his age and diminishing skills, the performer had taken on ancillary backstage duties. |

Paid Wm: Flight for Colours &ca: |
William Flight was an assistant or housekeeper to the painting room. He was regularly paid for procuring colours and for his salary, and the two payments tended to be lumped together as "for Colours &ca" or "for Salary &ca". The overall spend on colours evidently outweighed that spent on his salary; and, because his role was specific to the painting room, even the pure salary payments have here been classed as "Scene Painters' Supplies". |
