Viewing Event Record: Requests, Burbage v Allen: Hudson deposes

Abstract

Cuthbert Burbage sues Giles Allen in Requests court over the Theatre playhouse property. Richard Hudson deposes 15 May 1600. Hudson affirms that in his opinion the property and tenements in question are much improved over their state twenty years ago. Hudson confirms that he and his father-in-law Bryon Ellam helped James Burbage to shore up an old decayed barn that leaned against the Theatre. Hudson says that he was present at the appraisal of 18 July 1586 and that they determined that £240 worth of improvements had been made to the property. He reports that at the appraisal of November 1585, Bryan Ellam, William Botham, and William Clerke estimated the improvements at £220.
