Excerpt from The Appeal of Lieut. Colonel Charles Barton Burr, C. B. Of the Bombay Infantry Establishment, to His Excellency the Most Noble the Marquis of Hastings, K. G. Governor General and Commander in Chief of British India: Against the Conduct of Brigadier General Lionel Smith, C. B., With the Autograph Reply and Decision of His Excellency Thereon
So great an alarm existed, that the garrison actually abandoned it a few weeks after, on which Lieut. Robertson, the Police Master at Poonah, hired some irregulars for its occupation; I applied to Gen. Smith for his sanction to add to these a few invalid Sepoys; but no notice was taken of my application, and the consequence was, that, on the Paishwa's return from Baumongong, the irregulars surrendered it to the enemy, who continued to hold it till I left Poonah.
