which consisted of 3 troops of the 6th and a squadron of the Lancers, came upon their en- campment. A few men who made a stout resist- ance were killed there. The main body, who had discovered the approach of the column, tried to get into the fort, but were intercepted by Skinner's Horse, who had been ordered to march on our pivot flank at half a mUe distant, and even with the head of the column : they killed about 70 men, it is supposed, and drove the remainder into an enclosure close to the b...und. In the meantime the Skirmishers or Flankers, about 144 picked men of the three Cavalry Corps under Captain Luard and Lieutenant Armstrong of the Lancers, being still more on the flank and close to the walls of the Shuher Punnah, again intercepted them, drove them out of the enclosure, and pursued them to the gates, committing good havoc. In this afiair the enemy lost altogether about 140 men, includ- ing the Neema Eana, or Takoor of Neema, and his son, who were the chiefs of the party : our loss was trifling — not one man kUled, 7 of Skinner's Suwars wounded, 1 trooper of the Lancers, 1 of ours (struck by spent cannon shot), and a havildar of the 8th Cavly.
