He looked for aid from Rohilcund, but obtaining none joined Bramley at Patialee. The latter had collected about sixty troopers on leave in the neighbourhood from various Regiments, but they were not to be depended on. News reached them of the mutiny near Mynpoorie of a detachment of Oudh Irregular Cavalry which had been sent to aid them. Soon after this they were joined by Edwards, Magistrate of Budaon. But by June 5 the sixty troopers had dwindled to twenty. Finding they could do no good by remaining Phillipps and Bramley started for Agra, whilst Edwards returned to Rohilcund intending to make for Nynee Tal. After reaching Agra on June 11, Phillipps joined Prendergast's troop of volunteers and did excellent service, especially in the action against the Neemuch mutineers, when the small party of twenty charged the rebel Cavalry, losing five killed and nine wounded. This pluck so disconcerted the rebels that a gun was saved from capture, but the English, being hopelessly outnumbered, had to retire to Agra. On July 9 Phillipps was made Magistrate of Agra, and very soon had the city in comparative order.
[The surname is spelled PHILIPS in the main listing.] |
