The Copy of a Letter from Bury in Suffolk, of the taking of Sir Thomas Peyton and others, by Sir Thomas Barnardiston.  
SIR,  
HEre was some private Listings in th●s● parts, and rumou●s spread by Malignants, that the Kentish Officers would come hither to command them.  
And accordingly Sir Thomas Peyton who was Lieutenant general to the Cavaliers in Kent, came hither with Captain Swan, the Lady Swans Son, and others,( as it is said) to gather an Army in these parts, for the King, as they pretend, but without Commission from his Majesty.  
Sir Thomas Barnardiston having notice hereof, with some Inhabitants here, which joined with him, for that purpose, came and suppressed them, and hath taken prisoners, Sir Thomas Peyton, Captain Swan,( and others) and hath sent them to the Parliament.  
And hereby the peace of this County is much secured, and the hopes of those who thought to have lived upon our ruins, thwarted.

A Letter from Chester, of the great Victory against mayor general Sir John own.  
Noble Sir,  
THere, began a new insurrection in North Wales, Sir John own, the Kings old mayor general, with colonel Floyd and others were joined, to the number of 200 besides 200 Country-men which they had raised in those parts, and were daily increasing in Merionith-shire.  
mayor general Mitton, with Mr. Lloyd high-sheriff of that County joined and sent to the Committee of North-Wales to assist them with what Forces they could.  
We had informations here that they were resolved to give no quarter to any that served the Parliament, And by Letters from Liverpool it was said that they have discovered, that had the Cavaliers had power in their Design against that Town, they had not only killed all that have joined with the Parliament, but to put their wives and children to the Sword.  
There need not much to persuade a readiness to join in the suppressing of Sir John own; And a messenger was dispatched to mayor general Mitton and the sheriff, to assure them of speedy supplies, and the time and place appointed.  
But before they could come up mayor general Mitton and Mr. Lloyd the sheriff had engaged with them, And had a very hot fight, routed the forlorn, and did good execution.  
But Reserves coming up and overpowering us, mayor general Mitton was worsted, And the sheriff with some others taken.  
Mr. Lloyd the sheriff had seven wounds, And own promised him upon his Honour that he should have care taken of him for curing his wounds, yet nevertheless a guard was set upon him, and he was carried up and down from place to place, his wounds bleeding about the streets, and no chirurgeon admitted to dress him, and at last stripped and thrown upon the ground, where he lay till he bled to death.  
colonel Carter and colonel Twisleton with a party of Horse and Foot coming up had notice of that unhappy engagement with the enemy before they came, and were sorry for the loss of that gallant man, yet they( after debate amongst the Officers) resolved to engage Sir John own if they could.  
And accordingly( marched up to them) faced each other, And their Forlornes met, and fought furiously, But Col. Carters men had the worst then.  
Relief being come up from both,( after another dispute) both sides were at a stand, But after some charges the Parliaments Souldiers worsted them, and brak in upon them, doing execution, which they followed so close that they put them to a total rout, so that there is now no visible sight in the field.  
I have sent you( here enclosed) a List of the particulars, and doubt not but the Parliament will proceed to execute Justice against them for murdering the high-sheriff of that County, doing his Office.
