COENWALL BTJEING THE CIVIL WAK. 35 



Agreement was then entered into, of a nature advantageous to the 

 Parliamentarians, who, indeed, were then almost in a position to 

 dictate terms; and many places sent in their adherence; among 

 them, Penryn and St. Ives. The Commissioners on the part of 

 Lord Hopton were : Col. Charles Goring, Col. Marcus Trevor, Col. 

 Thomas Pan ton. Col. Jordan Bovill, Sir Richard Prideaux, Knt., 

 and Major Goteree. This Agreement, dated March 14th, 1645, was, 

 in fact, a conditional surrender by Lord Hopton ; his army was to 

 he disbanded within six days, but to keep their arms, horses, &c., to 

 a certain extent, and to have passes given them. On the 23rd of 

 March, a Thanksgiving-day was ordered, for the Thursday se'ennight 

 following, on account of the success of Sir Thomas Fairfax. 



On the 25th of August, 1646, the garrison and island of Scilly 

 were surrendered to Captain Batten, Yice Admiral of the Parliament 

 Navy. About the same time, Pendennis Castle surrendered to the 

 Parliament Forces ; and, from a Letter by Mr. John Haslock, a 

 surgeon, printed in "A true and perfect Eolation of the Surrender 

 "of the strong and impregnable garrison, the Island of Scillie, &c.," 

 it appears there was some rumour of a plot to blow up the Castle, 

 in preference to surrendering. The garrison had been in great 

 distress for provisions, having only a little water left, and a cask of 

 salted horse, although they had plenty of powder and shot. There 

 is a copy of an Order given for Col. Jenens, Lt. General Buchly 

 (Burleigh), and Major Brittayne to view the horses within the 

 garrison, and notice such as were fit to be killed for heef. John 

 Arundell was the Governor ; and the follov^^ing is "A List of the

 " render thereof: —
