Letter to Parliament on Worcester skirmish and Ludlow pursuit
A despatch from the Earl of Essex to Parliament declares the Worcester skirmish truth and that Prince Robert and his forces fled to Ludlow, twenty miles beyond Worcester. Essex asks for 1000 dragoons to pursue. The Commons hear Chelster news of three thousand arms landing at Newcastle and powder, match, and ordnance seized for Ireland. Sir Lyonel Furbey and four Kent gentlemen are captured and bailed to appear before the House.
