Payment amount appears in an "Old Debt" column, which has its own running total, separate from this season's main running total. The "Old Debt" running total disappears after 20 June 1799, though "Old Debt" payments continue to be made thereafter and are not added to the main running total. |

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”. |
