Employees (Other) £614 8s Internal 6 Days Salaries at £102. 8. 0 Pr. diem
Benefit Payments £50 Internal Mr. Kemble on Acct. of Benefit Allowance
Housekeeping £50 Departmental Properties & House Bill Mrs. Shade Drury Lane normally in 1775-81, and sometimes in 1781-1802, included its properties bills (and perhaps some painters’ bills) in its housekeepers' bills, without distinguishing the amount paid on each. The relevant payments have been categorised “Housekeeping”, because the properties and painters evidently fell in the housekeepers’ remit in such cases, in both conceptual and practical terms. But note that properties and scene painters (if such they were) belong rather in “Properties, Scenes and Machines”.
