[No judgment entered. This suit was begun in Hilary (Jan —Feb.) 
1601, and was here entered for trial in Easter, 1602. It was probably 
stopped before coming to trial. Meanwhile, in November, 1601, Allen 
had brought suit, on the same general matter of the Theatre, in Star 
Chamber, and prosecuted it at the same time, until the summer of 1602, 
when that case as well as this apparently failed. The Star Chamber pro- 
ceedings here follow. ]

[Allen’s suit in King’s Bench against Street, 1599-1600, had been stopped 
by order of the Court of Requests, first by injunction, 10 April 1600, and 
“finally by decree of Oct. 18, 1600, and thus failed. Then he lost the suit
