Margaret Brayne counter-sues the Burbages in Chancery court over their efforts to prevent her from claiming her share of the Theatre playhouse profits. A court order is one of the few surviving documents in the case; the bill and answers are not extant. The order appoints Sir Julius Caesar to examine whether the defendants' demurrer is sufficient, or whether the Burbages should be subpoenaed to answer fully.
