<OPENER><SALUTE>SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>I Can now give you a full account of the utter o|verthrow of that part of the Scots Army which fled Southwards, with Duke <HI>Hamilton,</HI> which were at their marching over Che&s;ter above four thou&s;and, and be&s;ide what the County had gleaned of them in their march to Utce&s;ter, they were not le&s;&s;e then
<PB REF="5"><!-- PDF PAGE 94 -->3500. which being &s;urrounded by the County on Thur&s;day la&s;t, came up the Lord <HI>Grey</HI> of <HI>Groby</HI> and Major Generall <HI>Lambert,</HI> they be&s;et the towne, the Duke &s;ued for conditions (having put him&s;elfe into the protection of the Maior of the &s;aid towne of Ut|ce&s;ter) but his condition &s;uited not to granting of his de&s;ires; So the Lord <HI>Grey</HI> with his Leice&s;ter&s;hire hor&s;e, and Major Generall <HI>Lambert</HI> with the forces he brought with him out of the North (all well mounted and as re&s;olved as any,) fell in upon the Scots at both ends of the towne, and at their fir&s;t approach gave fire at &s;ome di&s;tance, which the Scots an&s;wered not but by &s;ubmi&s;&s;ion, yeilding them&s;elves pri&s;oners, Colonell <HI>Wait</HI> a Member of the Hou&s;e of Commons had the honour to take the Duke him|&s;elfe pri&s;oner, and had his &s;word and skarfe; The Lord of <HI>Traquaire</HI> and his Sonne, as al&s;o Sir <HI>Marma|duke Langdale</HI> and eight other Commanders were formerly taken, &amp; we hear that 17. of the Scots Lords are taken &s;ince they were routed. And at this time (be&s;ides the Duke) was taken 7. Colonells divers Lords, about 3. Lieutenant Colonells, 20. Captaines 100. other Officers about 20. Collours 3500. hor&s;e and as many pri&s;oners, their hor&s;e were exceedingly tired, and the riders (for the mo&s;t part very poor fel|lowes) having little money or cloathes except what they got &s;ince they came into England, neither had their Commanders much money about them, or in their portmantles: &s;ix of the Dukes Waggons, in which was thought to be their onely trea&s;ure were taken by the County before they came to Utce&s;ter; The Duke is in the cu&s;tody of the Lord <HI>Grey,</HI> the Colonells, other Officers ond private Souldiers car|ried &s;ome to Leice&s;ter, &s;ome to Nottingham, and o|ther places for &s;afety. 300. of them are brought to this towne.</P>
