the name and title of James the 3d of England and Ireland,
and 8th of Scotland. In this towne they received what excise
was due to the crowne and gave receipts for the same. A small
party were sent to Lowther Hall1 to search for Lord Loynsdale,
but not finding him there (for he was gone into Yorkshire),
they made bold to take provision for themselves and their
horses, such as the Hall aforded. There were only at that
time two old woomen in the said Hall who received no bodily
^November damage. But provision being scarce in the said towne, Penrith,
Apleby. they marched betimes next morning for Apleby. The gentle¬
men paid their quarters of for what they called for in both
these townes, but the commonality paid litle or nothing,
neither was there any person that received any bodily damage
in either of the said townes. If they found any armes they
tooke them without paying the owners for them. Only one
man2 joyned them in their march from Penrith to Apleby. In
this towne they made the same proclamation as they had done
in the former, and received the excise. The weather at this
time for some days before was rainey. They marched out of
5th November this towne betimes on Saturday morning, being the 5th of
Kendall*0 November, in order for Kendall. In this days march none
joyned .them (excepting one, Mr. Francis Thornburrow), son of
Mr. William Thornburrow of Selfet Hall neare Kendall. His
father sent one of his servant men to wait vpon his son because
he was in scarlet cloathes, and stile of Captain Thornburrow.3
About 12 a’clock of the same day 6 quartermasters came
into the towne of Kendall, and about 2 aclock in the afternoone
Brigadeer Mackintoss and his men came both a horseback,
having both plads on their targets hanging on their backs,
either of them a sord by his side, as also either a gun and a
case of pistols. The said Brigadeere looked with a grim
countenance. He and his man lodged at Alderman Lowrys, a

2 ‘This man stole a horse about one houre before he joyned them, and
diserted from them the next day ; and at August Asizes 1716 was found guilty,
and executed at Apleby for stealing the said horse.’
3 ‘ Mr. Thornburrow was taken at Preston, and brought to Wigan, and hapned
to see two other prisoners there bribe the centinel, so they made escape. And
one houre after he tould the centinel what he saw. So the centinel let him
make his escape in woomen’s cloaths.’
