Performers (Other) £119 Internal Paid Miss Mortimer for 102 Nights Performance last Season Something looking like "£" written above 102, but its application, and whether or not an error, are unclear. In terms of how to categorise this payment, judging from playbills on The London Stage Calendar 1800-1844, Miss Mortimer seems to have begun her career in 1802-03 acting Ophelia, but moved into more singing roles for the rest of the season thereafter. However, Ophelia itself seems to have been a role often taken by notable singers, due to Ophelia's mad songs; so perhaps this payment is best regarded as a payment to "Singers".
