As part of the ongoing controversy over disruptions to the community effected by the Blackfriars playhouse, the Middlesex justices of the peace investigate the players' valuation of the playhouse and its properties. Their report emends the valuation, and advises that the sharers would likely be willing to accept 1066l 13s 4d. Collier, vol 1, pp 477–8 (1879), is the sole witness to this document. It cannot be traced in the archives, and has been identified as a suspected forgery almost since publication. See Freeman and Freeman, 'Scholarship and Forgery,' pp 782–3.
