Unknown £200 Unknown Mr. Gotobed Gotobed seems to have been a lawyer who worked for the dukes of Bedford, but it is unclear what exactly he was being paid for on this occasion. Covent Garden never paid exactly £200 to the dukes of Bedford on any other occasion.
Miscellaneous £9 18s 9d Internal Music &c. The term "Music &c." was used in this account book to cover daily payments to the band, the properties department and a kettle drummer. Comparison with other account books suggests that the bulk of the money (generally 80-90%) went to the band, 5s went to the kettle drummer and the rest of the money went to the properties.
