The lucrative commission of £40 a year was paid to John Dorrington, master of Bears, Bulls and Mastiff Dogs from 1598-1604, for license to bait at the Bear Garden. This acquittance of 1602 is in Henslowe's diary, DC: MS VII, f 151, but not included in Foakes' edition. A similar acquittance, dated 1 January 1601/2, is transcribed from DC: MS II, single sheet; see Richard Lefwicke's Acquittance for the Bear Garden.
