Margaret Brayne sues James and Cuthbert Burbage in Chancery court over her share of the Theatre playhouse profits. Giles Allen deposes on the Burbages' behalf 3 November 1591. Allen thinks that Burbage entered into a bond for the premium on the lease and does not believe that this debt is yet fully discharged. Brayne paid nothing to Allen, as the debt was Burbage's alone. Allen claims that John Brayne had never asked to join with James Burbage in the lease on the Theatre, and that the contract was made with only Burbage in mind. Allen notes that Burbage still owes him £30 for rent and arrears.
