Housekeeping,"£7 8s 4d",Departmental,"Mr. Kirk House Bill to the 10th. Inclusive","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”."
"Leases (Ground and Buildings)","£57 0s 0d",External,"Mr. Wegg 1/2 Yr. Rent to Michs. last By Dr. Ford Appropriated Fund","This sum is counted into the main running total of expenses, rather than (as in other places) a separate running total for Ford's Appropriated Fund. Presumably Ford paid Wegg out of the Fund, and was then reimbursed from Drury Lane's main treasury."
"Benefit Payments","£76 8s 0d",Internal,"Mr. Palmer his Benft. Balce. of last Season",
