A body of the Peishwa's troops tried to gain admission, and offered the officers a bill on Bombay for a lakh of rupees to allow them to pass in.

The offer was rejected, but the Peishwa's officer still continued to press in, till Forbes faced his men about, and, drawing his sword, swore he would cut him down if he persisted.
The following morning, the fort was taken possession of by Clive.

The success had been gained at the cost of about twenty men killed and wounded.
Ramajee Punt at once made a formal demand for the fort to be given up to him.

Watson, in return, demanded that Toolajee should be made over into English custody.

Meanwhile, a hunt for the treasure secreted in different places went on.
