Leg who being taken in my Lord Brookes Regiment upon condition of pardon did divulge all their Intentions of which the chiefe were these particulars First that some of the Cavalers that were in Lecestershire dib intend to joyne with certaine of Sommersershire Cavaleers for there were private Letters sent to that purpose betweene them for to goe to certaine neighbouring Villages and to fire and burne the houses which things he no sooner divulged but tha● my Lord Brooks sent some from his owne forces to remain and lye in watch in such p●●ce● as were w●●ke of themselves and such as he thought they might best attempt upon and other of their exploi●s was to und●rmine certaine places in Southern field where they thought my Lord Brooks would have come with his forces which being known by this Captains relation was avoyded for my Lord sent thither imediatly to see the truth of the matter and found all things as he had said and in the said undermining was found great store of powder layd under faggots and billets and great wedges of Iron all which my Lord caused to be carried away Also Captaine Leg related how the Cavaleers kept certaine balls in their pockets to fire houses and towns withall and how that many of them went under the Command of Captaine Calliford being a sea Commander towards the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man thinking to lye inwaite to seize upon the money that the honourable house of Parliament pretended for the reliefe of the Irish Protestants but notice thereof was presently sent to the Lord of Warwicke for the prevention of the fame who sent two or
