 The action began about two o'clock of the afternoon and appears to have developed on all sides of the town.It rapidly went in favour of the assailants, and by four o'clock the Parliamentarian leaders and their troops were in Briggate and Boar Lane, while Savile and others were fleeing for their lives.Fairfax took nearly 500 prisoners and immediately released them on their promising not to take up arms against the Parliament on any further occasion.
