Viewing Event Record: Chancery, Worth and Blaney vs Baskervile and Browne: Perkins deposes

Abstract

Richard Perkins deposes in Ellis Worth and John Blaney's suit against Susan Baskervile and William Browne. The testimony provides evidence concerning the disposition of players' shares following their death or departure from the company. Perkins cites the cases of John Thare and Thomas Albone, whose widows received no payments following their deaths. Perkins also says that when Francis Walpole and Thomas Heywood left the company, neither were allowed to take shares with them. He does not know of any agreement which stipulates that defunct or departed members of the company are allowed to pass on or retain their shares.
