The troops fell in as quickly as possible, and the Artillery came into action.

The Rifles crossed the Hindun suspension bridge, and, under cover of our guns, attacked the enemy, who were strongly posted in a village.

From this position they were speedily dislodged, and the victory was complete.

Seven hundred British soldiers defeated seven times their number, capturing five guns and a large quantity of ammunition and stores.

Our loss was one officer and ten men killed, and one officer and eighteen men wounded.
The following day (Sunday) the enemy reappeared about noon, but after two hours' fighting they were again routed, and on our troops occupying their position, they could be seen in full retreat towards Delhi.
