`rep own hircarrahs, which was corroborated from dif-
Arent quarters, that several hundred Pindarees bad
collected at Mundapee (13), a village about 20 miles
front camp, which, although r.ominally subject to Jes-
wura Rao Chow (U), had been given up by him to,
Patel Khan, avid bad became a place of rendezvous
for the various tribes of freebooters thratAhout the
country, and a rallying- point for the fugitives from
the durralts of Cheeton; Ml:rem-Strati, and the other
Pindary Chieftain:. Bring =four-to avail myself
of so favourable. an- °prior' urity- of cetting off a cons
siderable body of the enemy; and at-the-same time of
chastising the persons who had dared to countenance
and support them, I determined to move on to Mun-
dapee with a light party, and the men morning

The troops were immediately ordered to quit the
town ;Itut before this order could be carried into ef-
' feet, I regret to state that some irregularities occurred,
which were not checked till after several severe et-
ernities had been made, and one sepor capitally pu-
nished. The inhabitants, however, sustained no loss,
as immediate restitution was Made of the articles
taken frOnt the houses by- the u-oops, and nothing
permitted to pass the gates of .the village. A. num-

property were found in the plat ,bet given up to
