James and Cuthbert Burbage sue Margaret Brayne in Chancery court over her efforts to secure a portion of the Theatre playhouse profits. James Burbage questions witnesses on his behalf 8 May 1592. The interrogatories raise questions about John Brayne and Robert Miles' debts, and the financial dealings of the concerned parties after Brayne's death. The concluding interrogatory asks how many times the deponents have known Robert Miles to be indicted for adultery, and whether or not he was called before the coroner's inquest over the death of John Brayne. A note attached to the interrogatories indicates which questions are to be asked of which deponents.
