Robert Browne sues Oliver Woodliffe and Richard Langley in Chancery Court. Marsh answers Browne's interrogatories: in Autumn 1601, Francis Langley broke in to the playhouse with his gang, some of whom threatened to kill anyone who resisted them. One of the company had a halberd or similar weapon, with which he almost injured Marsh in the thigh. Marsh specifies that there were galleries in the Boar's Head over the stage (presumably to the side) and at one end of the stage.
