The KITCHEN EXPENCES provide a table for his Majesty; a table for the custos, the groom of the stole, the Lord of the Council, the Equerry in waiting, and M. General Taylor, and the physicians; and tables for his Majesty's pages, the physician's attendants, the clerk of the kitchen, and the inferior male and female servants of the establishment.
