The True intelligence sent to this kingdome, concerning the taking in of the town of New-castle: with copies of the letters and other passages that occurred betwixt our army and those in the town : as also the surrender of the castle thereof.

The surrender of the Castle and Prisoners. New-castle 21. October 1644.

ON the Lords Day we gave thanks to God in the chief•• Kirk of the Towne, and that Day the Governour wrote to the Generall, desiring that he and the Gentlemen, and Ministers with him, might have liberty to go to the King, or where they pleased, with their Horses, Swords, and Pistols: This Letter was neglected, and not answered. Upon Tuesday the 22. the Ministers, viz. Doctor Gray of Pontiland, Master George Wishart, Vicar Alvey, and Master Walter Lamonth, wrote an humble supplication to the Generall, submitting them∣selves and their fortunes, to grace and favour; whereupon they were suffered to come out and render themselves Prisoners. The Major and some Captains with him, came out upon the like terms. Lodovick Lindsay sometime Earl of Crawfurd, my Lord Maxwell, and some other Scottish-men are prisoners also, and kept in the Castle (now rendred) by a Garison of our Souldiers. This day also summonds were sent to the Castle of Tinmouth, what answer is received, you shall hear by the next.
