Unknown,"£51 0s 0d",Unknown,"Paid Mr. Cox for 300 Doals [?]","""Doals"" is an ambiguous word in this context. Perhaps it meant ""portions"" paid to scenemen, the usual recipient of Gabriel Cox's distributions; perhaps it meant charitable ""doles"", or had some relation to mourning, in which case the recipient may have been the undertaker named Mr Cox paid on 14 February 1774. In the nineteenth century, the term seems to have been used sometimes for ores, so perhaps these ""Doals"" were painting supplies, and the recipient was in fact Cox & Co/Merle, from whom Covent Garden occasionally bought verditer. Or perhaps the recipient was Robert Kilbye Cox, and the ""300 Doals"" referred to his share of the theatre; see the payments to a Mr Cox on 8 January and 22 January 1787 and the notes to them."
