Viewing Event Record: King's Bench, Allen v Burbage: A Latin summary outlines the case

Abstract

After Cuthbert Burbage wins his Requests court case against Giles Allen, Allen launches a suit against Burbage in the court of King's Bench. In this case, Allen accuses the Burbages of having failed to keep the terms of the original lease. The surviving summary outlines Allen's complaint and quotes from the original lease of 13 April 1576, which defines the extent of the property in question. The summary further records that on 17 September 1579 James assigned his interest in the land to John Hyde. Then, on 7 June 1589, John Hyde assigned his interest and terms in the Theatre property to Cuthbert Burbage. Allen argues that the Burbages did not keep the buildings in good repair and so were in violation of the terms of the lease, while Cuthbert argues that the buildings were repaired and improved.
