Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Uncategorised £4 4s Unknown Mr. Johnston Perhaps a payment to Roger Johnston, the properties maker. But perhaps he was paid on behalf of his son, Alexander, for the latter's dancing; from 18 April 1782, there began to be records of multiple-guineas" worth payments to "Mr. A. Johnstone on Acct. of Dancing".
Uncategorised £3 6s 8d Unknown Mr. Taylor's Dicot. on £200 4 Months Ford - and somtimes Linley, Westley and a General Account - were named in relation to a number of £200 drafts recorded in the Drury Lane account books around this time, appearing as both receipts and expenses. Perhaps they formed a loan arrangement for short-term cash, but it is unclear exactly what was happening here, or who, in this instance, Taylor was. This particular payment relates to an earlier receipt, of 27 June 1781: "To Cash on Dr. Fords Draft in favour of Mr. Linley accepted T: W: at 2 Mos. disd. by Mr. Taylor. dated 21st. June", £200. Then followed on 19 October 1781 a payment of £200, "Draft in favour of Mr. Taylor Genl. Acct".
