But expense records 1746-47 suggest that he oversaw carpentry, painting, and general building work that season, partly or exclusively at Lincoln's Inn Fields. As such, these payments probably did not relate to scenes or machines, hence their categorisation here."

Miscellaneous,"£34 8s 0d",Departmental,"[nightly charge]","This season's account book does not record or itemise the nightly charges, but it is evident that they were diverted from the nightly receipts. The sums are here calculated by deducting the money received into the treasury from this night's performance receipts or benefit charge, as appropriate. This was James Quin's free benefit night. The theatre recorded an expense to cover what would normally have been the benefit charge, ""Mr. Quin by the Charge of this Night"", £60; used £34 8s of that money to pay the nightly charge; then returned the remaining £25 12s to its treasury as a receipt, ""Ballance of the £60 Charg'd as pr Contra"". This process has been simplified here into a single expense."
