Viewing Event Record: Requests, Keysar v Burbage et al: Robert Keysar delivers his replication

Abstract

Robert Keysar's replication in his lawsuit against Richard Burbage et al describes the circumstances under which Henry Evans surrendered the Blackfriars lease to Burbage. Evans forfeited his £400 bond by allowing the Blackfriars premises to fall into decay; Burbage and his company thus demanded that Evans pay his debt to them. Unable to furnish the required sum, Evans decided finally to give up the lease, which was returned to Burbage, with some consideration for Evans' expenses in maintenance and repairs to the buildings.
