House Servants (Other) £18 Internal Boxkeepers & other Servants at Mr. Colemans Theatre to 17th. May
Musicians (Trumpets) £1 10s Internal Hyde Extra Trumpet to 17th. Inst.
Miscellaneous £9 5s 1d External Sr. Jno. Gallini in full for Timber &c For Sir John/Giovanni Gallini, see BD vol. 5, pp. 444-49. It is unclear what exactly Drury Lane was paying him for here; perhaps construction materials for the rebuilding of Drury Lane (which he may have had left over from the rebuilding of King's), perhaps timber and other materials used as part of the Drury Lane company's performances at King's (e.g. for scenes, machines and/or properties). It is therefore difficult to categorise this payment, but "Miscellaneous" has been favoured over "Unknown" due to the clear presence of timber.
