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 £173 1s on the basis that it recorded the previous night's after money (£2 3s) this night, but the actual figure, using this night's after money (£1 7s 6d, recorded the following night), was £172 5s 6d.
