Viewing Event Record: Chancery, Brayne v Burbage: John Hyde deposes

Abstract

Margaret Brayne sues James and Cuthbert Burbage in Chancery court over her share of the Theatre playhouse profits. John Hyde deposes again, 21 February 1592. Hyde answers that 'one Prune A Broker' offered the lease of the Theatre to him on behalf of James Burbage and John Brayne together and that the lease was for £125. The lease was forfeited at least five or six years ago, according to Hyde. Hyde agreed to let Burbage and Brayne repay him in installments of £5 weekly but those soon ceased. Hyde says that he never received any more payment from Brayne and directs the court to his previous depositions for any more information.
