Margaret Brayne sues James and Cuthbert Burbage in Chancery over her share of the Theatre playhouse profits. The Burbages question Nicholas Byshop. Byshop is asked whether he is familiar with the details of the 1578 arbitrament between James Burbage and John Brayne concerning the Theatre. He is also asked whether the players perform on the sabbath day or not. Byshop is asked about the circumstances surrounding his positioning by Miles as doorkeeper at the Theatre. Byshop is asked, finally, whether Miles has boasted that he will one day own the Theatre, because of his claims on Margaret Brayne.
