In a Court of Requests suit between the King's Men and the owner of the property of the Globe playhouse, Sir Matthew Brend, counsel for the King's Men presents a list of seven interrogatories to be administered to witnesses. The first three questions pertain to the personal acquaintance of the deponents to both parties in the suit and to the details of the original lease between Nicholas Brend and the Burbages, and the costs that the King's Men incurred to 'erect build and sett vp a Playhowse' upon the property in question. The follow four questions focus on details regarding the reconstruction of the Globe after the 'Casualty of fire vtterly burnt downe and Consumed' it, as well as the extension of the original lease that was granted by the young Matthew Brend and his family before he came of age as heir to the property.
