Edward Kirkham sues Henry Evans and his associates in Requests court over profits on the Blackfriars lease Kirkham claims are owed him. Edward Paunton, Henry Evans' son-in-law, enters his plea. As he understands it, Alexander Hawkins had an absolute interest in his share of the Blackfriars lease (which Paunton has inherited through his wife, Margaret Hawkins, Alexander's widow). The share was not held in trust for Evans and his associates. He further attests that there are articles of agreement dated 20 April 1602, between Henry Evans and Alexander Hawkins, signing the moiety of the lease over to Hawkins.
