Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Employees (Other) £150 18s Internal Salaries of last Week in full
Housekeeping £13 12s 10d Departmental Housekeepers Bill to 24th. inclusive 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”.
Carpentry and Sceneshifting £12 9s 9d Departmental Carpenter's Bill to 25th. inclus
Printing £2 2s External Printers extra Bill to 25th. inclus
Loan Repayments (as Debtor) £300 External Messrs. Bateman Barnet & Cos. Draft London Directory (1780), p. 11 lists: "Bateman & Burnett, attornies, Maiden-la. Covent-garden". However, from Drury Lane's four recorded payments involving them, it looks rather as if they served as bankers/lenders to the theatre, and this payment has been categorised accordingly.
Total £479 2s 7d
