Expenditure

Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Singers £105 Internal Paid Mr Billington Presumably a payment to James Billington for the performances of his wife, Elizabeth Billington.
Musicians (Band) £8 8s Internal Music the 5th. Inst
Musicians (Kettle Drums) 5s Internal Kettle Drum
Properties 16s 8d Departmental Properties Do [the 5th. Inst]
Scene Painters £23 Internal Paid Mr Phillips / Painter / 11 Weeks 3 Days
Loan Repayments (as Debtor) £100 External Paid Mr Whitfield A Mr Whitfield - perhaps the wardrobe keeper, perhaps the armourer, perhaps someone else - was paid £100 multiple times in the 1789-90 season for no specified reason. The total amount of money is too high and too neat to be related to the wardrobe keeper's salary or tailoring bills. Rather, these payments almost certainly relate to (a) loan(s) of £500 and/or £600 made by a Mr Whitfield to Covent Garden, as adverted to by other, more detailed records made across the 1789-93 seasons.
Total £237 9s 8d
