The theatre deducted an 'Author's Allowance' of £105 from the total receipts and gave it to Cumberland, leaving the remaining receipt to the theatre's treasury. It recorded this remainder as £116 2s 6d on the basis that it recorded the previous night's after money (7s 6d) this night, but the actual figure, using this night's after money (15s 6d, recorded the following night), was £116 10s 6d.
