The Magistrate was quite incapacitated for work, owing to ill-health, and had shortly to proceed on leave, so that the work and responsibility fell on Grant, whose position was a very difficult one. The Detachment of the 20th Native Infantry on duty at Mozuffernugur mutinied, plundered the Treasury, burned the public buildings and private residences, and went off to Dehli. Grant had to proceed to Shamli, a large revenue post in the district, to open postal communication between Kurnaul and Meerut. Having arranged this most important matter he returned to Mozuffernugur, whither a troop of the 4th Irregular Cavalry had been sent. These mutinied almost immediately and murdered their Officer. Grant's position was one of extreme danger till relieved by a party from Meerut, which enabled him to remain at his post, though the district was a most difficult one to manage. |
