In his bill of complaint against Christopher Babham, William Blagrave, manager and part-owner of the King's Revels company, says that he acquired Stephen Hammerton as an apprentice from Hammerton's former master William Perry on 15 October 1629, when Hammerton still had nine years remaining of his apprenticeship. Blagrave accuses Babham, his erstwhile partner in the Salisbury Court company, of detaining Hammerton himself and the interest, profits and property in the apprentice for the past seven months. Blagrave values his interest in Hammerton's remaining apprenticeship at £30.
