At Banbury, in Oxfordshire, a Captain Thompson, at the head of two hundred men, published a manifesto, entitled “England’s Standard Advanced," in which he declared that, if Lilburne, or his fellow-prisoners, were ill-treated, their sufferings should he avenged seventy times seven-fold upon their persecutors.
His object was to unite some of the discontented regiments; but Colonel Reynolds surprised him at Banbury, and prevailed on his followers to surrender without loss of blood.[1] Another party, consisting of ten troops of horse, and more than a thousand strong, proceeded from Salisbury to Burford, augmenting their numbers as they advanced.
The suppression of the mutiny afforded leisure to the council to direct its attention to the proceedings in Scotland and Ireland.

But Banbury admitted the scaled-down programme, agreed in Pyongyang Wednesday, was a compromise to ensure that WFP is able to continue helping some of the most vulnerable North Koreans.

WFP ended its previous emergency aid programme last year at the request of North Korea's ruling Korean Workers' Party, which asked the UN to move towards development rather than relief aid.
