[_Deposition of_ JOHN REDMAN.]

John Redman of London, stationer, of the age of 22 years, sworn and

examined upon his oath, saith that he knew the said garments, but how

many was of them he remembreth not; and this deponent played in the same

divers times when Walton had them, but what they were worth he knoweth

not, but they were little worse than new. And this deponent saith that

he knoweth that the said Walton divers times lent them out, but what

hire he had for them he knoweth not, neither in stage-play nor in

interludes; but as to the 6 garments, that is to say 4 gowns of

sarcenet, a woman's gown, and a spangled garment, they were good, fresh,

and little the worse for the occupying when he knew them first in

Walton's hands, and by estimation they were worth 20s. apiece, for they

were lined and guarded part with gilt leather; and the curtains of silk

were fresh and new; and there were garments of dornyke and saye, which

he well remembereth, and more he cannot say.
