A GREAT VICTORY obtained by Sir William Bruertons Forces against the Westmerland Forces at Malpesse in Cheshire August 26. 1644. SIR IT hath pleased God to give us a further victorie against the Enemie by a small handfull of Sir William Bruertons Forces On Saterday last being the 24. of August 1644. there came a Trumpeter from the Enemie hither to Nantwich Sir William Bruerton being then here in the Town which Trumpeter coming to our Court of guard and there it being demanded of him whither he went and from whence he came told the Officer that he came from Prince Ruperts Forces and had been Trumpeter to him and was come to submit to the Parliament and had a businesse of consequence to declare to the Governor and accordingly he was brought to Sir William Bruerton And he declared unto Sir William Bruerton that a party of the Westmerland forces were marched with Collonel Baynes Collonel Conniers Sir Marmaduke Langdale the Princes Troop and others towards Chester by Malpesse about 1000 men in all to joyn with Prince Puperts forces there whereupon Sir William Bruerton sent out Scouts and entertained this Trumpeter and as you shall understond found this Relation true So Sir William Brue●ron called a Councell of Warre to consider upon this businesse and it was agreed that what horse and foot could be drawn forth should presently be sent towards the Enemie for the most of the horse were at that present out upon another designe and accordingly 8 Troops of Horse and 7 Colours of Foot Companies were drawn out on Sonday the 25 of Aug. at night and the Horse carried each of them a Musketeir behind them and marched towards Malpesse and on Monday morning at break of day when they came with in 2. miles of Malpesse or thereabout our foot alighted and our Horse drew themselves into a bodie and marched in batalia before the Foot In the mean time the Enemie having intelligence hereof sent out a forlorn-hope but our Horse wheeling about appeared not on that side of the Town which they expected who discovering them endeavoured to get between the town and them which they did and falling upon them killed and took them all and had their arms and pillage Then our horse gave them an Alarm in the Town whereupon the Enemie issued out and marched against ours Then Lieutenant Collonel Iones and Captain Zanchy led on Sir William Bruertons own Troops upon the forlorn hope who charged the Enemie gallantly and with great courage drew on the rest The Enemie came upon them first with 2. or 3. Charges and indeed fought furiously Sir Williams horse made good their ground in despight of the Enemie In which Collonel Iones was so valiant that he was shot in the thigh and his horse shot under him and had like to have been taken but that George Parker servant to Sir William Bruerton did valiantly fetch him off and Captain Zanchy had his horse shot under him the Enemies losse we beleeve was great Then the Enemy sent out a party to ambuskado the hedges on both sides the forlorne hope which being discovered Captaine Zanchy all this while making good a Lane which hee held very advantageous did hereupon leave the lane and made way for the rest of our Forces to march up in a full body Then the Enemy appeared in 5 severall Brigads who being extreamly vext that they had bin so baffled with such a small party their Command marched up against us with a great deale of fiercenesse but few of them returned backe againe for we killed tooke and totally routed them as you may see by this inclosed list which I hrve sent you of the particulars thereof we have taken Prisoners Serjeant Major Cromwell who Commanded as Maior the Duke of Yorkes Regiment of Horse and also Serieant Maior Maxie of Sir Charles Lucas his Regiment we have also taken Serieant Maior Crathorne of Collonel Ferhars Regiment and Captain Thomas Clavering brother to Coll Clavering of the North who is dead at Kendall Captain Barker Lieutenant Mountain and other Officers besides about 20 other Prisoners and two of the Maiors and Lieutenant Mountain are wounded Collonel Baines and Coll Conyers are both slaine and also Serjeant Maior Heskey and one of their Lieutenant Collonels and some 40 Gentlemen and other under Officers and betweene 30 or 40 common Souldiers and we heare by one that is come from Chester that one Serieant Maior that was slaine is brought to Chester to be buried that Sir Marmaduke Langdale is there wounded with a shot in the back very dangerously and also that Captain Harris is brought thither wounded and divers others and we heare that there are two other Serjant Majors of theirs flame but that I cannot affirme we have taken many Armes that were scattered up and down by the Enemy and gained all the pillage in the field to God be the praise Sir VVilliam Brereton had provided us more horse if we had had need which came up that very night but God be thanked we had no need of them for God was pleased to give us this happy Victory before they came up to us Prince Rupert wee heare is gone over the Forrest of Deane and so to Bristoll where no doubt Sir Iohn Winter will doe him the best assistance he can and we heare that 2000 Welch are following of Prince Rupert but of these these things we shall heare more hereafter In the meane time I cannot omit to declare the valour not onely of Lieutenant Collonel Iones and Captaine Zanchy as before but also how Captaine Church and Captain Finch behaved themselves very gallantly in this Fight and indeed generally all our Forces to God be the praise who so blessed them that with the said 8. Troopes of Horse and 7 Companies of Foot did kill take and rout 1000 of the Enemies and they had a good mind to have followed them but that it was too dangerous an attempt with so few Horse to straggle from our Foot who in this businesse did very good service in all this we had but one slaine and the Enemy took not one Prsoner of our men We heare that Sir Iohn Meldrum still proves Victorious in Lancashire and hath againe taken 140 horse and their riders and that Liver-poole is now closely beseidged and the Town being summoned the Lancoshire forces before it had a very great expectation that it would be presently surrendred but it fell out otherwise for the Malignants of the Town with the Governour and Officers perswaded the people to beleeve that there were 2. Ships with souldiers from Ireland comming thither who would certainly be there in few days to strengthen the Town and so for present they stand out but are closely beseiged and it is hoped will be forced in short time to yeeld Sir William Brereton our Generall his care in this and all other businesse is exceedingg great and with good discretion and judgement He is to to call a Councell of Warre and you will shortly heare further if god be pleased to blesse us as he hath done wonderfully already even above our expectation to him be the praise Dated at Nantwich the 29 of August 1644.
