They have marched on the troops of horse round Darlington who have withdrawn to Durham. Hope this will delay Newcastle's march south, perhaps all winter, the roads now being bad.

Neither have been used in this action though the Bishopric forces might have prevailed if their hearts had been up to their numbers.
