Siege and skirmishes cited in Civil War dispatch
A dated parliamentary report notes Lord News castler’s forces have taken Bever and besieged Hull while Lord Fairfax sends 16 troops to Lincolnshire to join Cromwell at Boston. Gloucester is said relieved from siege. Barnstable and Bodmin are betrayed to Kings forces. Parliamentarians convict M Holt of conspiracy, imprison Sir Edward Brynton, and condemn Judge Berkeley with heavy fines and disqualifications.
