James Burbage buys the Blackfriars parliament chamber and associated properties from Sir William More for £600. The indenture describes the property in minute detail, and enumerates the tenants currently occupying the 'seven great upper rooms' of the chamber. The whole property is situated within the precinct of the 'late Blackfriars Preachers.' In addition to his rights in the property, the indenture also grants Burbage the use of the passage leading from Ludgate to the Thames, and liberty to unload and leave goods in the great yard 'for convenient time until the same may be taken and carried away.' He is not to block the passage to the houses and rooms which remain in More's possession.
