Gentleman's Magazine 1745 p.604  "Nov. 16 [1745]. By advices from the North of the 12th at night there are accounts, that the main body of the rebels march'd upon the 11th to Brampton. The pretender's son lodged on the 9th night at Murray's, at a little village three miles West of Carlisle, on the 10th night at Blackhall three miles South of Carlisle, and was at Warwick castle by ten o'clock on the 11th. ... Upon the 12th the rebels remain'd at Brampton, Warwick Bridge, and the villages between those two places. They gave out that their whole army was to join that night, and that they had orders to hold themselves in readiness to march at ten o'clock, upon the 13th. They had 16 field-pieces along with them, ..."
"Nov. 16 [1745], The following intelligence was reciev'd this morning from Penrith in the county of Cumberland, dated the 13th Inst."
"The rebels who continued before Carlisle from Saturday till Monday last, retreated with their carriages and 16 field pieces to Brampton, eight miles from thence. They have continued there, and have been collecting their forces till nine this morning. Two persons of good character came to Penrith at five this evening, and declar'd they saw a large body of the rebels, which they gave out to be 7000, moving from Brampton to Carlisle, and heard numbers of them declare they were going to besiege it in form. That the rebels forced four carpenters to go along with them from Brampton, in order (as they said) to assist in erecting batteries. ..."

"... After noon [Mon 11.11.1745] other spies were likewise detach'd [at Carlisle] to observe their motions, and discover'd a great number remain'd about Warwick bridge; but the pretender, with his guard and attendants were advanc'd to Brampton, where they lodg'd themselves that night; and on Tuesday they lay idle from all action, except feats of rapine and plunder; for they spent the day in hunting and destroying the sheep of lord Carlisle's tenants, and bearing off the country people's geese and other poultry. They also seiz'd upon all the horses they could lay hands on, without any question relating to value or property; notwithstanding they declare the design of their expedition is to redress grievances, and correct abuses. Tuesday night the rebels slept quietly with full bellies."

"Brampton, the next Place we are to speak of, is a little Market Town, to the N.E. of Carlisle, and not far from a Bridge over the Eden. This Place, by the Learned, is thought to be the ancient Bremeturacum along the Wall, for it is scarce a Mile distant from it, where of old the first Cohort of the Tungri from Germany, and in the Decay of the Roman Empire, the Cuneus Armaturatum, under the Governor of Britain, was quarter'd: These Armaturae were Horsemen armed Cap-a-pee; but whether they were Duplares or Simplares, is not told us; the Duplares, in the Sense of that Age, were those that had a double Allowance of Corn, and the Simplares such as had a single. The Market here is on Tuesdays: It is 225 Miles computed, and 287 measured from London."
"The Lands of the Town are, for the most Part, Demensne, and the Lord, who is at present the Right Hon. the Earl of Carlisle, keeps here Yearly a Court-Leet, and View of Frank-Pledge for the whole Barony of Gillisland, tho' anciently their chief Seat was at Irthington."
