<HEAD>A LETTER of the Gallant Victory obtained at S. Needs by Lieutenant Collonel Scroop, <HI>again&s;t the Duke of</HI> Buckingham, <HI>the Earl of</HI> Holland, <HI>the Lord of</HI> Pe|terborough, <HI>and between</HI> 4 <HI>and</HI> 500 <HI>hor&s;e.</HI></HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>Honoured Sir,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>WE have again given the Duke of <HI>Buck|ingham,</HI> the Earl of <HI>Holland,</HI> and the re&s;t, a notable bru&s;h.</P>
<P>Since we gave them the former defeat at <HI>King&s;tone,</HI> they marched towards St. <HI>Albands,</HI> and &s;o by <HI>Dun&s;ta|ble,</HI> and <HI>Breckhilts.</HI></P>
<P>It is &s;uppo&s;ed that they had a de&s;igne, to have gone towards <HI>Lincoln&s;hire,</HI> but the news of Coll. <HI>Ro&s;siters</HI> good &s;ucce&s;&s;e (as is &s;uppo&s;ed) hindred them.</P>
<P>They feared to draw nearer to <HI>Northamton,</HI> lea&s;t the Lord <HI>Grey</HI> &s;hould way lay them from the Counties of <HI>Leice&s;ter, Nottingham,</HI> and <HI>Derby,</HI> as nimbly as his Lord&s;hip a&s;&s;i&s;ted Col. <HI>Ro&s;siter.</HI></P>
<P>Sir <HI>Michael Live&s;ey</HI> took care to &s;top all places, to hinder their marching back into <HI>Kent.</HI></P>
<P>And Lieutenant Coll. <HI>Scroop,</HI> was &s;ent with &s;even Troops of Hor&s;e to pur&s;ue them towards the Ea&s;tern a&s;&s;ociation, le&s;t they &s;hould attempt <HI>Lynne,</HI> or &s;ome o|ther
<PB N="3" REF="3">dangerous place, that if they did &s;top, he might fall upon them.</P>
<P>The Lords with the Cavaliers were in number, then, between 4 and 500 all hor&s;e, but, as they went, left di|vers tired by the way.</P>
<P>Their cu&s;tom was, that when they came into fre&s;h quarters, they would declare to tho&s;e Towns where they came, and make &s;peeches to court the Magi&s;trats and Inhabitants (at which the Earle of <HI>Holland</HI> had a better faculty then at the &s;word).</P>
<P>I have &s;ent you herewith the &s;ub&s;tance of one of the &s;peeches made to the Inhabitants of the Towne, by the Duke of <HI>Buckingham,</HI> The Earl of <HI>Holland,</HI> and the Earl of <HI>Peterborough</HI> did the like.</P>
<P>But by that time they came hither, the Earl of <HI>Hol|land</HI> was &s;o weary, and &s;haken in his joynts, that hee had a better will to his bed than his hor&s;e, e&s;pecially not knowing the end of his di&s;tracted journey.</P>
<P>And yet for all their &s;peeches and Declarations, their manner was, upon removing of quarters (till when all was pretty faire) to leave their Carriages and meane&s;t Souldiers to follow, and they both plun|dred hor&s;es, and pillaged hou&s;es, and did much harm, whereby they lo&s;t the affections of the Country very much, &s;o that they were ready to give any rea&s;onable a&s;&s;i&s;tance to our men that pur&s;ued them.</P>
<P>And the Earl of <HI>Hollands</HI> Innes were pretty well known, whereby they were the better tra&s;ed.</P>
<P>On the Lords day (at night) they took up their quar|ters in this place, but with a great deal of fear.</P>
<P>A councell of warre was called that night, by the Lords and Officers, at which they had &s;ome debates
<PB N="4" REF="4">which way to march the next morning.</P>
<P>Quarter-ma&s;ter Generall <HI>Dolbier</HI> (who was an old Officer of the late Lord Generall the Earl of <HI>E&s;&s;ex,</HI>) had joyned with them, and was e&s;teemed an eminent Officer among them, to who&s;e advice they much ad|hered.</P>
<P>And he ingaged to make good this Town of S. <HI>Needs,</HI> again&s;t any party that &s;hould pur|&s;ue them, and that he would engage his life, which he would loo&s;e rather then &s;ee them &s;urprized there that night.</P>
<P><HI>Dolbier</HI> watched (and drunk Sack &s;tiffely) that night, and all was quiet.</P>
<P>But a little before Sun-ri&s;ing, this morning then came an alarum to this Town, which made the Cavaliers cry, all to <HI>Hor&s;e, Hor&s;e,</HI> The Lords, and chief Officers being mo&s;t of them then in bed.</P>
<P>The Duke of <HI>Buckingham</HI> was not long be|fore he was up, dre&s;t, and mounted, and &s;o o|thers. But the Earl of <HI>Holland</HI> took more De|liberation to dre&s;&s;e him.</P>
<P>About Sun-ri&s;ing Lieut. Col. <HI>Scroop</HI> came up to the Towns end, where he found &s;ome oppo&s;ition, but both he and the re&s;t of the Officers and Souldiers were very re&s;olved.</P>
<PB N="5" REF="4">
<P><HI>Dolbier</HI> made &s;ome oppo&s;ition, but in the charge was &s;lain with &s;ome twelve more, and then they all began to retreat, and fled &s;ome one way, &s;ome another, the Duke went with nigh 200 towards <HI>Huntington,</HI> whether Lieu|tenant Coll. <HI>Scroop,</HI> is pur&s;uing them. We have taken here almo&s;t 200 Hor&s;e, and nigh 150 pri&s;oners, among&s;t whom the Earle of <HI>Hol|land,</HI> who was got out of his bed, but had not quite dre&s;&s;ed him, to whom quarter was gi|ven, that he may turn round once again.</P>
