Printed for Th. Thompson . October 19. 1642. TERRIBLE NEWES FROM YORKE : Wherein is shewed the barbarous actions of the Cavaliers in plundering the houses of the Citizens of York , who refuse to contribute money towards the maintaining of a war against the Parliament . Also the Lord Generall his Instructions to the Counties of Derby , Northampton , Warwick , and divers other Counties , for preventing the like miseries in other places . THe miseries of this Kingdome are almost growne to a height , the malignant Party now hath begun to plunder the City of Yorke , and have already plundered above twenty houses in the said City for not contributing towards the designes of the Cavaliers to maintaine a warre against the Parliament : diverse Aldermen that refused are committed , and one Alderman that was intrusted by the Act of Parliament for gathering up of money for the Parliament , and hath a thousand pound in his hands , hath but seven houres given him to consider whether he will deliver up the money , or be plundered and imprisoned . Moreover they threaten the best Ministers about the City , that they will be the death of them , unlesse they preach as they would have them : they have carried Sir John Bourchier to Yorke : the Lady Melton being about to send her goods by water towards Hull , had all her goods , money and plate , to the value of a thousand pound , taken by the souldiers as they were putting into the Bark ; they will suffer none of any degree whatsoever to depart the city without lending of money . ) The ●hi●ft Cavaliers that beare sway in the City of York are Sir 〈◊〉 Wortley , Sir Marmaduke Langdale , Sir John Kay , M. Francis Nevill and others ; the Earle of Cumberland stands for a cipher , they do what they please without his advice . There is a thousand Foot and three Troups of Horse marched towards Cawood where M. Hotham is , and Sir Thomas Glemham hath an intent to force him thence , so that if the other Regiments of Foot that the Parliament hath appointed for the securing of that county come not to aid them , M. Hotham must of necessity retreat to Hull . Certain Delinquents revenues are to be made stop of : Two pensions of the Duke of Richmond , one of 2100 : l. per annum , another of 1400. l. per an. To the Lord Willoughby of Eresby , 1000. l. per an. To the Earl of Bristol 2000. l. per an. To the L. Grandison , 500. l. per an. &c. The English Fleet lately lying before Galloway , which is the strongest towne they have , except Limbrick , and there laid siege to it : so the Lord of of Clenrikard came downe and conferred with our Lord Forbes , and the Merchants of the towne : they strongly replied , and said , that they were the Kings loyall subjects , and had not offended in the least thing , but that the souldiers in the Kings Fort had done them wrong : but had the King sealed to our Commission , we should have found enough against them , that we might truly have made an onset upon the towne : wee were so neere the towne with our garrison , that we could heare them plainly call our Parliament rogues , Parliament-dogs , and Puritan-Dogs : so you may very well conceive what subjects they are . On the third and fourth day we re-fetcht aboard our souldiers , and the sixth day wee set saile from Gallaway to go to Limbrick , and on the ninth day we arrived in Limbrick river , and on the two and twentieth day we laid siege to the Knights of the Elmes Castle , that is to say in English , the Knights of the valley ; the which Castle we plaid upon two dayes and two nights with two Demi-Canons : so the second day we entred the Castle , slaying all we found alive : but when we came to burie them we found but eighteene or twentie , the rest made an escape and got into the woods : there came a great army of the Irish within sight of the Castle ; there marched out betwixt four and five hundred , and when they began to approach , the Irish men fled , and durst not stand : We tooke in this Castle a thousand bushels of Wheat , three or foure thousand vveight of Butter , besides Barley , Malt and salt Beefe : this Castle vve took on the three and tvvcntieth of September vvith the losse of five men , a Trouper and a Footman in the pursuit after the first landding , and three other after vve came under the Castle vvals , tvvo common souldiers , and the Master of Captaine Thompsons ship . The Lord Generall hath sent Instructions to the counties of Derby , Warwick , Northampton , & divers other countreys in those parts to raise the power of the Counties , and stand upon their guard , to secure themselves from the Cavaliers , who plunder every place where they come without distinction of persons : for the Cavaliers endeavour to come towards London , and plunder by the way , hoping that the Lord Generall cannot remove fast enough to prevent them , but his Excellency hath sent ten Peeces of Ordnance and two thousand men to stop their passage at Coventry , that they may not passe that way : the counties of Northampton and Warwick are already in a warlike posture , and furnished to oppose the Cavaliers .
