James Burbage brings a suit against Margaret Brayne, claiming that, shortly before his death, John Brayne had agreed to leave his interest in the Theatre property to Burbage's children. The court appoints Dr. Matthew Carew to investigate whether Brayne's demurrer is sufficient, or whether she should be subpoenaed to answer the bill of complaint fully.
