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.
