Carpentry and Sceneshifting £33 8s 2d Departmental Carpenters &ca by Cheyne I. F. to 29th Octr.
Construction £16 External Taylor by Do. [Cheyne] to 5th. Novr. Here presumed to be the Mr Taylor paid on 17 October 1797 "for Alterations of the Theatre". If not, he may nonetheless have been concerned with upkeep and refurbishment work, since Cheyne paid him. Alternatively, he may in fact be a tailor paid for tailoring work, but no other payments to tailors via Cheyne are recorded. See also the payment to a "Taylor Mr." made on 24 December 1791.
