Carpentry and Sceneshifting £7 14s 6d Internal 7 Const Sup: Candn. & 79 Ext John Powel explains this recurrent DL payment in Tit for Tat (Houghton THE GEN TS 1574.316), p. 34, referring specifically to the 1747-49 seasons: "Four constant Supernumerary Scene-men to assist the Scene-men belonging to the House, and a Candle-Man, that see's all the Candles put out after the Play is over, at One Shilling each ... There are sometimes extraordinary Supernumerary Scene-men made use of in Plays to help at the Traps &c. such as Richard 3rd. Mackbeth, the Tempest &c. which have a Shilling each". Because the candleman was only a small part of the bundle, and was apparently considered to be close enough to the scenemen to be grouped with them, these payments have been categorised as "Carpentry and Sceneshifting".
