Paid Mr: Murphy as Pr: Bill |
Perhaps the same Mr Murphy paid on several other occasions across the 1780s-90s, who may have been Mr Murphy the piper active in the late 1790s (BD vol. 10, p. 391), or Arthur Murphy the playwright (though there is no evident reason why Covent Garden would have paid him after the 1770s). |

Paid Do: [Mr: Keeffe] for the Pantomime of Friar Bacon |
From the early 1780s onwards, Covent Garden regularly commissioned and/or accepted plays from O'Keeffe, seemingly on quasi-retainer. Presumably this payment was part of those arrangements. |
