"Scene Painters","£16 16s 0d",Internal,"Mr: Barzago Painter",
Miscellaneous,"£10 10s 6d",Internal,"Music &c.","The term ""Music &c."" was used in this account book to cover daily payments to the band, the properties department and a kettle drummer. Comparison with other account books suggests that the bulk of the money (generally 80-90%) went to the band, 5s went to the kettle drummer and the rest of the money went to the properties."
Unknown,"£80 0s 0d",Unknown,"Mr Wood by Certificate","BD vol. 16, pp. 233-4 lists a John Francis Wood, organist and violinist, who played in Covent Garden's oratorio bands 1793-1800, but it seems unlikely that he was the main paid here; more likely the recipient was William or Benjamin Wood(s), paid in relation to Thomas Harris on several occasions between 1785 and 1798."
Unknown,"£340 4s 6d",Unknown,"Paid Mr. Saunders, one of his Bills taking the discount","A Mr Saunders was regularly paid large amounts of money in the 1790s, seemingly as loan repayments or for some other financial arrangement, but it is hard to be sure."
