A TRUE NARRATIVE OF The late Mutiny made by several TROOPERS OF Captain Savage's Troop in Col Whaley's Regiment A Friend of mine acquainting me That Mr. Locker at the time of his Death had taxed the Lord Generals Court Martial with Tyrannical and Unjust Proceedings against him pretending he was unjustly condemned with many expressions to that purpose so as divers godly men there present who knew nothing of the business more then what fell from his mouth were much grieved and offended at his death and proceedings of the Court and knowing that I was present with the Court at his Tryal and able to give an Account of the whole Proceedings desired me for publique Satisfaction to publish a Narrative thereof which is as followeth UPon the 24 of this instant April Captain Savage having received Orders to march with his Troop to the Rendezvouz of the Regiment at Mile-end-Green commanded his Trumpet to sound to Horse which accordingly was done But about thirty of the Troop of whom Robert Locker was chief about two of the clock in the Afternoon went to the Four Swans Inn in Bishopsgate street there seized upon the Colours and carried them to the Bull Inn in the same street where they forcibly detained them Whereupon their Captain went to them demanding the Reasons thereof and withal commanded them to bring out the Colours and mount but they deny both telling him They were not his Colours carriers That they had as well as he fought for them In this maner they kept the Colours all that day and the next night refusing although often perswaded and commanded by their Captain to obey the said Orders That evening the Regiment by Order returned to their former quarters and their Officers knowing that the day following they were to march into the countrey to quarter lent them for their better accommodation out of their own purses having newly received some moneys a Fortnights pay but withal Ordered That Captain Savage his Troop should have onely their pay due to them and no more by reason of their disobedience to Commands that Troop being also at that time one moneths pay before the Regiment excepting Captain Cannons Troop which was equal with them The Account standing thus The 19 of Decemb. last they came to London and to the 20 of Apr following makes nineteen weeks and upon the 23 of April upon which day they afterwards Mutinyed they received one Moneths pay which pay made them twenty three weeks which to Captain Cannons Troop and Captain Savage's Troop was to each of them one Moneths pay more then the rest of the Regiment had Good husbands needed not to have wanted money to pay their quarters after such Receipts The next morning Orders were given out by the Col for a Rendezvouz of the Regiment again at Mile-end-Green in order to their March to Quarter in the Countrey in obedience whereunto their Captain commanded to sound to Horse which was done but most of Captain Savage his Soldiers in stead of mounting put themselves in a posture of defence in the Galleries of the Bull-Inn with their Swords and Pistols standing upon their Guard their Captain hearing thereof went to them and commanded them to mount But they answered The Soldiers of the other Troops had a fortnights pay more then they which they said they would have before they march'd Their Captain perceiving they had cast off all obedience to Commands went into the room where they had secured the Colours and there lays hold of them to bring them away but they force them out of his hands Locker telling him The Colours belonged aswel to them as to him and that they had aswel fought for them as he to which they cryed All All. The Captain thereupon made his application to the Colonel the Colonel sent the captain with his Quarter-master back to them strictly commanding them as from him to march to the Rendezvouz where if they had any just complaints he would hear them and see them righted But they not satisfied therewith returned a peremptory refusal The Colonel thereupon with his Major and others of his Officers rid to them where he found Sixty of them in their former Posture of Defence standing upon their Guard he commands them to Mount they pretend they had not a fortnights pay as others of the Regiment The Colonel tells them They could not extort Moneys from their Officers where it was not due nor expect that fortnights pay to be lent them in regard of their Disobedience and Mutiny they being likewise now in pay a fortnight before the rest of the Regiment since they came to London except one Troop as aforesaid They then replyed They were behinde of their pay Upon Examination whereof it appeared to be but Three or Four days But in regard some of them said it was Five days the Colonel commanded the Clerk to give them Five days pay they then pretended want of Money to pay their Quarters the colonel thereupon ingaged They should not want for discharge of their Quarters and being thus satisfied to every of their Demands and Objections they then required of the Col that he should ingage to pay them their arrears the Col hereby perceiving they had a further design intimated so much to them and positively again commanded them to come down mount but still they refused The Colonel upon this spake to several of them and Locker appearing to be one of the chief called particularly to him to come down and mount but he refused turning himself to the Company seemingly asked their consents to which they cryed No No. In this maner they mutinied against their colonel and the yard and sreet being full of People they endeavored to incense them telling them They wanted their Pay the colonel perceiving neither perswasions nor commands would take place and foreseeing by the gathering of much people together there was like to be an uproar and having two Troops of Horse with him required the people to go out of the yard and commanded them to yield themselves as they would answer for all the blood that should be spilt for he would not be longer capitulated with but would force their obedience upon this many of them got away and fifteen of them were taken into custody the General and Leiutenant General upon notice thereof coming at that very instant to suppress the
