In a letter composed by the Earl of Worcester, the Privy Council acknowledges receipt of a letter from the Lord Mayor of London, concerning the abuses caused by theatrical activity in the city. The company recently formed by the merging of Oxford's and Worcester's Men represents a particular problem, as it moves from playhouse to playhouse, rather than remain at a single venue. Noting that the other allowed companies in the city each have their appointed playhouses, the Privy Council decides to assign the new company its own house: 'namely the Boar's Head.'
