Margaret Brayne sues James and Cuthbert Burbage in Chancery court over her share of the Theatre playhouse profits. Nicholas Byshop responds to Margaret Brayne's interrogatories 29 January 1592. Margaret Brayne and Robert Miles went several times to the Theatre to claim the former's share in the Theatre property. James Burbage refused to disburse anything unless by court order. When Miles showed him the order of 13 November 1590, Burbage called him names and Burbage's wife and son Richard beat him. The family then drove Miles and the widow from the premises.
