Viewing Event Record: Requests, Miles v Burbage and Allen: Robert Miles' suit may proceed

Abstract

Robert Miles continues to press his suit against the Burbage estate, this time in the court of Requests. The court judges that Miles' suit against the Burbages and Giles Allen here is sufficiently different from that against Cuthbert Burbage in Chancery court. The suit may therefore proceed and the defendants must answer the bill of complaint. [No answers survive.]
