Parliament Debates Ordinance and Army Movements
Amid April debates Parliament passes an ordinance to aid Lord Fairfax. Manchester reports forces moving toward General Ramdegouze with troops in Lancastershire. Waller boasts a sunrise victory near Reading capturing officers and soldiers. A royal proclamation urges counties Oxford and Berks to muster horse and men within five days, warning of harsh actions against rebels. Provisions for the army are discussed as commissioners report £20008 pledged.
