Thomas Heywood's deposition in a lawsuit of 1623 provides evidence that the Queen's Men ran into financial difficulties at the Red Bull in 1615. Heywood testifies that, after the death of Thomas Green in 1612, the company reposed their trust in Christopher Beeston, who attended to their affairs for three years. Beeston did not, however, make any account of his transactions to the company during this time, even though the doors and galleries brought in £8 or £9 a day.
