Giles Allen sues the Burbages and their associates in Star Chamber over the Theatre lease and the overnight removal of the playhouse structure. Richard Lane deposes 11 May 1602. Lane affirms that he entered the order of 31 May 1600 – for Allen to desist in his suit – into the register, and that no part of the order was altered. Lane denies that Allen ever showed him another order mentioned in the interrogatories. Lane denies he received any payment from Cuthbert Burbage or anyone else for entering the order. Lane is aware of Allen's suit to deny that Cuthbert Burbage was the assignee of James Burbage, and so had no standing in Theatre-related suits. To other questions Lane defers to court records.
