From Darby.

Colonell Hastings and some other of quallity came against Darby, but Sir John Gell issuing forth, they retired to a bridge that was strongly fortified, there they had a hot skirmish for two houres, the enemies being in the works, nothing but their heads appearing, and the Parlia∣ments forces being without defence in the open field, yet not one man slaine, and but one man hurt; whereas the enemies were divers of them slain, and were forced from the bridge; the Parliaments forces would have pursued them, had not the enemy broke downe part of the bridge.
