Category Amount Payment Type A/c book entry Notes
Musicians (Band) £9 12s 6d Internal Music 12th. Ins
Machines £400 External Paid Thos. Harris Esqr [per] Messrs. Ransom, Moreland & Co Presumed to be a payment for machinery, in line with the payment to Ransom, Moreland & Co "for Liquopodium" on 2 November 1803. The liquopodium was a machine involving pyrotechnics. However, on 25 November 1793 Covent Garden paid a "Discount on Thos. Harris Esqr and Messrs. Ransom's Notes", so perhaps this payment, too, was in fact related to a loan.
