In a Court of Requests suit between the King's Men and the owner of the property of the Globe playhouse, Sir Matthew Brend, a court note indicates that Brend would rather the King's Men 'should contynue it at the old rent then to be pressed to make a new Lease.' The suit settles on the plaintiffs paying one year of increased rent to Brend and discharge from the increased rate for another year, and for a new lease 'at the improved rent' for the remainder of their term.
