The Cawnpoor sepoys particu- larly, twelve of whom had begged leave to attend me on this occasion, with their side-arms and ramrods, as orderlies, laid about them with such hearty good will, that they made a very efiPec- tual way, and really seemed anxious to bring forward the greatest objects, so that I had the sat^ction of making my hundred and twenty pieces of silver a good deal more usefbl than they other- wise would have been, as well as ad- vancing with a progress considerably more rapid ...than I could have done without such tools as iron ramrods. I had, however, the mortification to find that some of the weakest and most help- less of those who were admitted to the side of my chair were hustled on their return to the crowd, to snatch from them the alms which they had received ; and one poor old woman, to whom I gave half a rupee on account of her great age and infirmities, was, after I had passed, thrown down, trampled on, and her hands, arms, and breast dread- Mly pinched and bruised, to compel her to unlock her grasp of the money.
