The London Regiment assaulted them at the same hour at Alderton, a mile from Geaston [Grafton Regis], they slew 15 on the ground, took 22 prisoners, and many horses which were left behind the riders shifting for them-selves better on foot into Geaston park & other hedges, so that a horse-fayre was kept at Newport that day, and horses sold good cheape for ready mony, we lost but one man in this service
