TRUE INTELLIGENCE FROM CORNWALL BEING A true Relation of the Rising of 600. Fishermen and their Wives and falling upon Sir Ralph Hopton and the Cavaliers wounding Sir Ralph himselfe by striking him from off his horse killing diverse of his men and putting the rest to flight and how the said Fishermen pillaged the town of Bodnam in Cornwall which caused the whole County to be up in armes and the Beacons to be fired throughout the whole County Also how the day following Sir Ralph Hopton with 500. men took some few Fishermen and tied them to trees whipping them naked with Broome and Furse and how he pillaged M.

Trelawney Merchant in London LONDON Novem. 10. Printed by R. Austin and A. Coe 1642. TRUE INTELLIGENCE FROM CORNWALL BEING A true Relation of Sir Ralph Hoptons cruelty in apprehending diverse poore Fishermen tying them to trees and whipping them naked with Broome and Furse Also the manner and occasion of Sir Ralph Hoptons being wounded with the names of the chiefe Malignants in the foresaid County ALthough I cannot enjoy that former happinesse which I was wont the fruition of your society yet I hope by our pens we may reciprocally understand of each others welfare I could wish and daily pray that there might be a conjunct and perfect union and concord betweene his Majesty and the Parliament for want of which we live in danger through feare of forraigne and domestick enemies Our countrey is sorely oppressed not onely with the Kings part but the vulgar and poorer sort of people are in combustion there was upon thursday last at the Mount five or six hundred poore Fishermen and their wives that came to Bodnam with spits clubs and stones and in a violent and rustick manner with the help of other poor there entred diverse houses and carried away their plate and pewter so that the county was up in armes and the beacons set on fire throughout the Shire Sir Ralph Hopton who is at Pendennis never stirred forth in all this hurley-burley but at night about six of the clock he came marched after the fishermen and urged them to go to M. Trefuses his house at Waford and plunder him and he would second their designes Sir Ralph Hopton had a good bang on the neck for his counsell and laid gasping in the high way and astonished at the first his souldiers cocked their pistols and vowed to shoot them who were also struck off their horses and two slain in the high way so that for the present Sir Ralph and his followers returned to their hold without pillaging M. Trefuses as he intended Sir Ralph the next day came with 500. foot horse then he revenged himself of some few stragling fisher-men whom he tied to trees and whipped naked with Broom and Furse and that day took six light horses from Sir John Vigures stable pillaged him of all his plate and pewter leaving him not so much as a dish or a spoon to eat his meat in Captain Carwithan and his trained Bands rose and very fiercely assaulted Sir Ralphs troupes yet Sir Ralph made them retreat with the losse of 6 or 8. of his men The fishermen and their wives came in the time of the skirmish most of them having gotten muskets birding peeces swords so that with the Trained Bands and the fishermen they left but a narrow passage for Sr Ralphs escape vowing that if they could take Sir Ralph or any of his they would whip him or them to death for his barbarous cruelty on their friends Sir Ralph departed for that time and carried away five of his eight horses and great mischiefe he would have done more but the way was so dirty and stony that it is impossible for the horse to travell much more to fight in such narrow passages There is one maine thing which I have omitted and that is the multitude of Warrants which have issued forth under the command of Prince Robert to all places within twenty miles of his Army it runs in the nature of Generall Lesley his Warrants at his entring of New-Castle commanding all men to provide and bring to his Army all manner of food and sustenance for his souldiers reliefe as also that the countrey provide both horse and men for the assisting of him in the said warre and that all those that wil not assist him to pay a contribution of money for their refusall And this is the effect of the said Warrants as I can rightly understand Plate and money is brought to his Majesty in abundance and the Coyners of his treasure carried upon wheeles and coyne money travelling It is a most excellent invention of Leniell His Majesties Engineere whom we thought to have beene cut off in the last fight at Kinton There was this day seven-night two Barks full of Ammunition on at Foy with three thousand mens armour which came from the Governour of Flanders whose name is as I have heard Don Francisco de Melos a Spaniard M.
