An Exact RELATION Of An Honourable Victory, obtained by the Parliament Forces in YORKSHIRE.  
SAturday night last, the 20 of May, the Lord general gave Order for a party of a 1000 Foot, three Companies of Dragooners, and eight troops of Horse, to march from the Garrisons of Leeds, Bradford, Hallifax, and Howley; Sir Thomas Fairfax commanded in chief; the foot were commanded by sergeant Major general Gifford, and Sir William Fairfax, the horses were divided into two bodies, four troops commanded by Sir Thomas Fairfax, the other four troops, by Sir Henry, fowls. Howley was their Rendezvouz where they all met on Saturday last, about twelve a clock at night; about two next morning they Marched away, and coming to Stanley where two of the enemy's troops lay, with some Dragooneers, that quarter was beaten up, and about one and twenty prisoners taken, and about 4 of the clock in the morning we came before Wakefield, where after some of the horse were beaten into the town, the foot with unspeakable courage beat the Enemies from the hedges, which they had, lined with Musketeers, and assaulted it in two places, wren-gate and North-gate, and after an hour and half sight, we recovered one of the pieces and turned it upon them, and entered the town at both places at one and the same time. When the Baracado's were opened, Sir Thomas Fai●fax with the horse fell into the town and cleared the streets, where colonel Goring was taken by Lieutenant Alured, brother to Captain Allured a Member of the House; y●t in the market place there stood three troops of horse, and Colonel Lamptons' Regiment, to whom Major general Gifford sent a Trumpet with offer of quarter if they would lay down their arms, they answered they scorned the motion, than he fired a piece of their own Ordinance upon them, and the Horse fell in upon them beat them out of the town, and took all these Officers expressed in this enclosed list, 27 Colours of foot, 3 Coronets of Horse, and about 1500 Common soldiers the Enemy had in the Town 3000 foot and Seven Troops of Horse, besides colonel Lamptons' Regiment which came into the town after we had entered the town, the enemy left behind them 4 pieces of Ordnance, with Ammunition which we brought away.
