Margaret Brayne sues James and Cuthbert Burbage in Chancery court over her share of the Theatre playhouse profits. Richard Hudson testifies that the Burbages have spent around £30 more in building and reparations to the Theatre since their previous survey. Hudson testifies that he was one of several in July 1591 to survey the new building and reparations done to Theatre property, and that in their estimation the cost of this work could have been no less than £240, as is recorded in a memorandum in James Burbage's book. He does not know how much money John Brayne or his widow contributed to the improvements.
