Apprentice to John Perrin { PERRYN, John ( - 1593) ‹ LBT 07163 › }, stationer of London, for eight years from June 24th, 1580, and took up his freedom June 28th, 1588 [Arber, ii. 101, 702]. Richard Oliffe published amongst other things the play called The weakest goeth to the wall, 1600, On March 1st, 1601/2, he was fined with many other stationers for selling S. Rowlands' Letting of Humours blood [Arber, ii. 833]. He probably fell a victim to the plague which raged in London in the latter part of the year 1603, By his will, which was proved on January 14th, 1603/4, he left the residue of his estate to his wife Elizabeth { OLIFFE, Elizabeth ( - 1618) ‹ LBT 03230 › }, who after his death transferred some of her copyrights to John Helme { HELME, John ( - 1617) ‹ LBT 07990 › } and Philip Knight { KNIGHT, Phillip ‹ LBT 10153 › }. [Comm. of London, 1603-7, fol.. 7 ; Arber, iii. 537, 576.]
