TN the grand rebellion this officer, as we learn from Clarendon and
T Whitlock, was extremely a&ive in the parliament’s fervice ; and dif-
tinguilhed himfelf in-various actions in Shropshire and North Wales.
One of the mod -confiderable of thefe was his entering and furp riling
the town and cadle of Shrewlbury, in February, 1644-5, at a time when
that place had been a good deal weakened by drafts made from the gar-
rifon. In 1646 he received a letter of thanks from the parliament for
routing General Vaughan on his march with 1700 horfe and foot, to relieve
Cheder ; and afterwards, on the furrender of Beaumaris, he was appointed
Governor of the cadle there: but his mod Jignal exploit was performed at
Conway, which he took by dorm, in Augud, 1646; for here, after a
great number of his enemies had been either killed or wounded in the af-
fault, he ordered a number of unfortunate Iridimen who happened to be
in that town, to be tied back to back, and thrown into the river.*
For this good fervice in the following year he was appointed Vice Ad-
miral of North Wales; but whether he was afterwards didinguilhed
under the ufurpation of Cromwell, we have not been able to learn; nor do
we know wrhen or where he died.
