Giles Allen sues Peter Street in the court of King's Bench for Street's part in pulling down the Theatre building. Allen accuses Street of trespassing, trampling his plants, and stealing the Theatre. Street argues that he was acting as the servant of Cuthbert Burbage and therefore he should not be the target of the suit. The bill is mostly in Latin, but quotes in full the proposed extension of the lease made 1 November 1585 by James Burbage, which Allen refused to sign.
