ALLEN UV, BURBAGE 
Queen's Bench, Easter, 44 Elizabeth (1602) membrane 257. 
[The following pleadings incorporate the lease of Gyles Allen to James 
Burbage, April 13, 1576, here rendered into Latin. This document has not 
hitherto been printed or quoted from. Its existence was known to Halli- 
well-Phillipps who, in his Outlines, I, 349, refers to it as containing the 
same description of the leased premises as is found in the proposed but 
unexecuted deed of 1585. The latter is incorporated in Street’s Answer 
in the suit of Allen v. Street, Court of King’s Bench, 1600, printed in 
preceding pages. |
