The last PROCEEDINGS OF THE SCOTS BEING A Report by a Messenger sent from the English Commissioners at Sunderland with Letters to the Lord Wharton Sir Henry Vain c. Delivered to the Parliament on Saturdry Aprill 6. 1644. by Master John Hardy With a Warrant signed By William Row Secretary to the Commissioners LONDON Printed by Andrew Coe and published according to Order MDCXLIV The last proceedings from the Scots Army MAach the 25 and 26 there was a great fight neere Sunderland there was of the Scots about 300 wounded some of them slain and others since dead to the number of about 60 this was all the losse we sustained in that fight which was within some 2 miles of the north of Sunderland But of the Earl of Newcastles men there were slain at the least 1500 amongst which were divers of great quality Sir Marmaduke Langdale was slain and divers of great note some of them his Excellencie Generall Lesley gave them the credit of an honourable buriall according to their degree a mongst which were at the least 30 Colonels Majors Captains and Lievtenants besides other Officers and there were taken prisoners from the enemie almost a hundred They retreated towards Newcastle the Scots pursued them very close Then the Earle of Newcastles Forces spread themselves and disperced towards Chestry streete and so to Durham and quartered towards Bishop Auckland and Branspith to see it they could rally their men but the Scots still pursued them cleering the way up the River as they went March the twentie seventh the Scots marched towards Lumley Castle to cleer the River for Coals his Excellencie the Lord Generall having then eight peeces of Ordnance carried from the ships for before hee had only two peeces save only his small pieces wherewith good execution was done From the twentie seventh of March to the end of the moneth the Scots were and so are still in pursuit of the enemie the Earle of Newcastle all this while not having taken a man of the Scots Armie to my knowledge but there are daily many that desert the enemie and come into us both from Newcastle and also from the Armie seven or eight everie day some daies more who take the Covenant and join with our forces there hath thus come in at the least 200 and more come in daily declaring that they were forced against their wils to fight under the Earl of Newcastle and that in the fight the Earl of Newcastles horse did force them to fight and kept them in with their Canes and Swords hurt pistold and slue many that retreated and they do also affirm that there are many more in the Earle of Newcastles Armie that would faine come away if they had an opportunitie Since there hath been many skirmishes but none considerable before the date hereof but the Scots still pursue the enemie to prevent them as much as they can from Rallying The Commissioners are come from Morpeth and are all at Sunderland The last of the Commissioners came to Sunderland this present Munday being the first of April which is a place where is great store of provision so that from thence Thursday before Generall Leshley removed his Quarters and carried away bag and baggage only 3000 he left for that Garrison and another neere it and hath fortified the Town verie well and secured all places as he leaves them But another part of the enemie lying towards Lumly Castle hath hindred the Lighters from carrying the Coals to the ships but there was a Convoy to have gone with them to the ships had not the battle prevented but there is no doubt but the enemie will be removed sodainly and Coals sent speedily to London There are about 120 ships that ride in Sunderland Harbour for Coals and there is so great a quantitie of Coals alreadie above the ground at the Pits readie to be taken away that they are not to be valued there is so vast a quantitie and the Commissioners are resolved upon this course to serve those ships first with Coals that bring provision which is but reason their being such want of provision amongst our men not only to supply the Armie but also to encourage others that come for coals thither to bring provision with them Sir Tho Glenham is in Newcastle but few cōsiderable men of note nor as some that come out from thence to our men certifie not above 120 Souldiers besides the Inhabitants and they have denied the Earle of Newcastle to come in or any of his Forcrs more then what are in the Town already till they see who shall win the field The Town begins to be much straitned of provision and are out of hope to have any reliese especially since the Earl of Newcastle is driven Southward and the Scots compasse the Town both by Sea and Land in Northumberland and in the Bishodrick and they are blockt up by water our Forces commanding the River The Scots are every day at Gatehead which they take great care to prevent the enemie from burning themselves being possest thereof but the enemies Works there are all pulled down and demolished only a partie are placed to prevent the enemie from issuing out of the Town to destroy those Suburbs and houses at Gatehead By all probabilitie it is not any ways likely that Newcastle can hold out long and the Scots doe daily expect when they will found a parley about the delivering up thereof Generall Leshley is marched towards Durham and the Maquesse of Argile goes along with him and many of the Nobilitie pursuing the Earle of Newcastle A Regiment lies at Blyth and two Regiments at Morpeth who doe often issue out to face Newcastle and to keep the Countrie from being further wasted and spoiled by the enemy There are two Regiments that lie at Sunderland and a Regiment about a mile off In Sunderland are about 100 prisoners of the Earl of Newcastles Forces Colonels Captains and other Officers for common men they turn them away and will not charge themselves with keeping of such only those of note Generall Leshley is still in pursuit of the Enemie not permitting them to rally Thus far the report of John Hardy There is a report that the Earl of Newcastle should fall upon the Scots on Sunday last neer Sunderland and that the Scots gave them a repulse slew and tooke prisoners a numerous company of them utterly routed them but this the Messenger reporteth not nor knoweth of it By the Committees and Commissioners of the honourable houses of the Parliament of
