Richard Edwards sues Thomas Woodford in the court of King's Bench for debts incurred over hats commissioned for productions at the Whitefriars theatre. Edwards, a tailor, first advanced four hats to Edmund Sharpham, possibly for a staging of Cupid's Whirligig. Soon after, Edward Sibthorpe ordered yet another hat. Because the first order remained unpaid, Edwards demanded a bond of Sharpham and Sibthorpe. Several months later, Thomas Woodford ordered yet another hat, assuming Sharpham and Sibthorpe's earlier debts as his own, and signing a bond in the court of Arches. Woodford later defaulted on the bond, whereupon Edwards sued. The court case provides details of the Whitefriars properties, sharers, and productions.
