Across the road the gang commenced firing upon them. They fired with fear, giving them a dozen shots. The Sepoys returned the fire, and the gang still continued to fire. I saw one of the sepoys fall down wounded. I took him up into my room, where he died the next morning. I afterwards learnt that the name of the wounded sepoy was Sheik Mahommed Ali. To the best of my recollection, it was opposite Silversmith's shop where the gang was. The line of fire appeared to extend into the shops. There was a large gun, I think, placed in the middle of the road on a stand, from which they fired. The other shots were from muskets.

I was a sepoy in the employ of Munshi Arifdin's regiment. I was on duty on the right of the 17th Regiment. Sheik Machrumed Alli was also a sepoy in Munshi Arifdin's employ. Myself, together with three other Sepoys, went down into the street in consequence of receiving information that some men had come to loot a Silversmith's shop. We were about half past 11. We went to within about 50 yards of the Silversmith's shop and formed into a line across the road. I saw a great number of men with fired guns. Sheik Mahommed Ali and a havildar were wounded. They were wounded with bullets. There was a large gang of men.
