Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Housekeeping £15 8s 7d Departmental Housekeepers Bill to the 5th. Inst. inclus. Drury Lane normally in 1775-81, and sometimes in 1781-1802, included its properties bills (and perhaps some painters’ bills) in its housekeepers' bills, without distinguishing the amount paid on each. The relevant payments have been categorised “Housekeeping”, because the properties and painters evidently fell in the housekeepers’ remit in such cases, in both conceptual and practical terms. But note that properties and scene painters (if such they were) belong rather in “Properties, Scenes and Machines”.
Supernumeraries £4 2s Internal Supernumeraries to the 6th. Inst. inclus
Carpentry and Sceneshifting £19 3s 1d Departmental Carpenters Bill to the 4th. Decr. Pence figure is in fact 1.5, but the half pence has not been recorded here.
