THE FIGHT. AT MAHARAJPOOR.
,The following spirited dest.ription of the attack is ex-
tracted from a letter written by a Lieutenant of her
Majesty's 40th Regiment, whd commanded the light com-
pany:-

"Damp • near Gwalior, Jan. 'l7. •
"Our orders the eight- preVidus were* to ad-
vance and take up our position to the left of the
village Mungawlie, my cogapany (the light) form-
ing the advanced guard. ' We had no 'sooner
reached our position than they began to play at long
bowls with us, and the precision' ith which -they fired-
Was beautiful. We immediately deployed into line, and
some of the- Company-'s artillery came 9n our right,
fired "ii-Teiv WOW; and' limbered' up. -We
continued- -steadily. advancing in line,-...under a.. very.,
heavy 'fire; across a perfect -restiPecting,- to.
receive • assistance from cavalry, it not . being the
dutY "of' infantry to take-guns 'in that 'poSition: ' How-
ever, no cavalry coming, of course the sooner we got to.
the guns the less fire Ave : Should receive, . and :the order
to charge was. given andnohly executed, the 40th rush-
ing 'to the -guns and 'bayonetting the enemy,: who fell
fighting, sword in : hand, With the greatest, 'Coolness
and 'determination. St-004d wai hit here by a
matchlock- ball at -the head of the regiment, and all
by 'my Side. Ilowever,-'the fellow who wotinded'him
was bayonetted by: a sergeant instantly. We then
charged after the retreating infantry,' Who' rook cover
in piece of-cotton. 'From this place they*ere soon
dislodged, after a smart tussle with the *light coin any.
We were no sooner clear of the left of the village
than we were again within the range of 'another battery,
and on our getting near the guns, we received repeated dis-
charges of grape and chain shot, which committeddread-
ful haiock in our ranks ; but' forward' was the word, and*
with a loud cheer the mcnriished on:We now fbund our-
-selves opposed to a very strong position, which the enemy

devils : • the loss on both- sides was very severe .;
amonggt the number poor Codrington- was-cat down by
a sabre, and -Nelson shot in the arm. We marched
-into the thick of it, and drove them out-with- the bap:- .
net; scarcely a man escaped, but presently we found
that some trees near the well were occupied- by the
enemy ; these, however,. came falling out pretty fast '
under our fire, when we discovered where they were.
We now began to feel, the fatigue very much,- having-
been engaged for about Alio hours, under a very-
hot sun, and having charged over nearly four
miles of cultivated country, besides the march to-
Mungawlie, a distance of seven miles ; however,' we
saw before us a third battery, and advanced to take it ;
we were received with 'a most severe round of grape, and'
the loss in the ranks was very great,- particularly in the
light company. Here ThOmas, Huey; Dawson, and
Eager, received their hits. Nothing could exceed the
coolness of the-enemy-, and had it not been for the British-
haybnet; the resul t would, I think; have been very different.
It, however, maintained its deserved reputation as an dad
• cient weapon, and soon settled the matter. This was the
last we saw, Of the enemy, and I assure you we were all tired
and, not sorry. to get-into camp, which we did at nbout
11 o'clock—having, been engaged since S. I then
Volunteered to go out with a party:-to. bring in our
killed and wounded, which I did, and I feel the
satisfaction that I saved many a poor fellow's life.
When out on this excursion, I saw the last six guns left
unprotected on the field, with several waggons of amnia..
nition ; this I reported to the General, and I was ordered
to take a company and get- some bullocks to bring
them in, and at about seven o'clock in the evening I had
the satisfaction -dr-parking the guns in front of our
quarter-guard. The 40th alone took twelve guns.
All our- officers who were hit are recovering rapidly,
But we have -last -a-great many men. We biitied the
next morning twenty-two' 'poor fellows in 'one grave;
and-many "have since died 'froth the effectl'of_Aeir
wounds. We have • about twenty-five Who are to go
home -immediately. . . . EVerything
-ir.-nvorsettled, und-we-areiirpossestion.of thefortovitla
'our whole force encaMped about four miles from it. At
first we expected another-brush with the enemy, but they
have nbw all acceded to our terms;and have enlisted in the
Alaharajah'S serrieez, Or die :dispersed'-and given -up:their
arms. We are tdreturn td 3feerut, when I anindfcertain,-
but I fancyit.iiillifahe-long tirst. It hai been altogether
a pretty warm- affair, as you may judge whenitell you
that in, my company, 'alone we had thirty-six killed
and wounded: . . . I went yesterday all over
the fort of Gwalior ; it certainly deserves its mime
of the Gibraltar of India, as it is -an ex-
tremely strong- place ; there are a great many very
large, but old'-guess, in the fort, and there certainly
would have been ,manybroken heads if we hadhad to
besiege it ; lathe- interior of the fort there-are- several

calendar, referred to a charge against a party of having
caused the: death of hiS wife :by neglect. Ili's
Lordship observed that -he felt it was • a ;dan-
gerous thing' for him to 'venture any 'opinion klp,,m
matters which were the subject of public- di,scus-
sion, and, he should not' have crone ,so, but that the,
facts disclosed in -the depositions. this I ens')
almost &impelled hint. -His Lordship then, observed that
it became a matter.of very grail) consideration, whether
the system of-centralisation under the isTew:Poor-laW; mn
the matter ot medical relief, did not fall upon the aged
and the sick with a` severity which. it itas,altni*t fearful
to contemplate: It appeared the dep&itiOns in this
case, that the deceased had a distance of three miles- to
go to obtain mediearrelief,"and at-this time She wis mit
at all in 'a condition to 'go tliat distance; 'and •but
for the kindness and benevolence of another "Met.
dical gentlemen; 'she would- not have received any

that he was glad to see .1 that the subject' 'was
at ',present under discussion in --they Legislature,
and he trusted that some'alteration would be made, so as
to remedy,suoh Strions evil. - The Learned JUdgir then„
proceeded to allude to'the facts of.the cases and said that
a husband was both morally and -legally bolted to pro-
vide fol. his wife; and if he Wilfully failed to do so, afid 1
death was the coneequence,, the offence might amount to
murder, or at all 'events to -manslaughter; and he , said
that to some extent the SIM observation would apply
to a relieving-officer, who,' by him office, was bound tp:'
afford relief-to the destitute poor, and if, by his neglect,
death unshed, he might be-amenable to one or other of-
the eharges he had alluded to. -His-Lordship, in the
course of his observations said, it was a disgrace to a
Christian country' that the sick poor should not receive
that immediate and proper attention which Ithey re-
quired; and he said he hoped such a state of things
would be remeditd for the future. _ _
