Housekeeping,"£50 7s 10d",Departmental,"Housekeepers 4 bills","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”."

"Musical Services and Supplies (Other)","£6 18s 0d",Unknown,"Music books to Mr Stayner","BD vol. 14, p. 243 states that Daniel Stayner was leader of the DL band in 1775, and suggests this payment may have been for music copying. Yet the phrase ""Music books"" would have been unusual in that context, and rather suggests sheet music bought from an external source."
