The Lord Chamberlain decides in the case of the Robert Benfield, Elliard Swanston and Thomas Pollard's petition over shares in the Globe and Blackfriars. The actors are to be "admitted to the purchase of the shares desired . . . for the four years remaining of the lease of the house in Blackfriars, and for five years in that of the Globe." The members of the consortium who choose to disregard the order are to be suspended from playing, if they are actors, or left out of the lease, if they are not.
