Mr Gerratt was Alleyn’s counsel in 1617 and (written as Gerrard) represented him in Chancery regarding the case brought against him, Agnes Henslowe, and Roger Cole by John Henslowe (see Appendix 4: 1.k). Following this entry of 7 March in his diary, and while compiling his quarterly accounts at the end of the month, Alleyn listed again the payment to Gerratt of £1 2s 0d under the heading Law. See Ioppolo, Henslowe-Alleyn Digitisation Project, .).

Since Alleyn did not die until 25 November 1626 and was buried at Dulwich on 27 November, he probably started and continued this practice in further books, which do not survive. The 'diary,' really an account book, was first transcribed in Young, Dulwich College, vol 2, pp 51-255, and extracted in Warner, Catalogue, pp 165-95.
All notes to Alleyn's activities directly relevant to the Bear Garden in Southwark have been included here.
For a fresh transcription, with introduction and glossaries, and an image of the original manuscript, see Ioppolo, Henslowe-Alleyn Digitisation Project.
